Some of Cromer's directorial choices and the scenic design are particularly striking. For example, when the whole back wall projects Bella's scans. The contrast and the suddenness are hauntingly effective. The sparse use of music in the final few scenes also hits hard because of how unexpected it is. Truly beautifully done without feeling minimalist; the few set pieces really help with that.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what actually happened in the play? Is Bella writing an account of what truly happened, or are all of the events that unfold purely fictional? By the end, I was fully convinced of the latter. Parker constantly writing, rewriting, and referring back to her previous pages, plus the situational irony and Chris's almost novelistic ending makes me think that everything we saw on stage was fictional, an outline for Bella's next novel. How did everyone else read it?
It's a testament to Rapp's writing that the whole structure of the play leaves open room for, I'd imagine, wildly different readings.
