First thoughts of the play

After reading "13" by Mike Bartlett I felt very dazed and confused due to being crushed by the hundreds of questions posed in the play, it made me realise how little I am in the world and how I make no difference to the majority of it, how sad.

I felt there was a great sense of subliminal messaging hidden beneath the play with messages constantly popping up about the corruption in our society. I have found a great love for how this play isn't a "nice" play, it depicts the grittiest in certain characters which we can all relate to, "13"definitely  picks your brain, forcing you to deeply question dreams and reality.

Each character in the play is distinct but lacks depth and any kind of empathy or compassion from the audience. The play is dark and complex like everyday life.
