No Quarter by Polly Stenham
4.0

I had to read this for a class and I devoured it in one sitting! I have to say, I really enjoyed it and it's a play I would read a second and maybe a third time, to fully grasp all the characters' emotions and motives.

It's a fast read, a wild ride exploring human nature and personal relationships, exploring almost every kind there is; brothers, mother & sons, friends, lovers, etc.

After finishing it, it really reminded my of Sally Rooney's work. I've only read "Conversations with Friends" from her, but the writing style really reminded me of her.

It's raw, it's real, it's a play about real people with flaws and emotions and in the end, it's a play about how to deal with yourself and your own emotions when you feel like the world is crumbling to pieces.
