What I liked

The speed by which the words are bandied about by the actors to each other keeps the rhythm of intelligent sarcasm make its intention and point come across quite clearly. And the timely cultural references which are carefully placed in the thread of thoughts, adds relevancy to it as well.

What I didn't like

Perhaps the intent of the rich man to assemble a party to come a bit earlier in the conversation with the mistress rather than letting the truth be exposed towards the end when it gets lost in the chaos? This way it could be more exciting to guess who takes the bite into being stereotypicallized into their corners or don’t, which a late reveal would not do much to excite.

My overall impression

The show is like a discourse/examination on societies’ growing sense of ennui juxtaposed with the vagaries of a constantly evolving search for truth, wisdom and reality amidst the backdrop of a social gathering meant to exposed the very foibles of its inherent superficiality.
