On page 37 Stephen introduces us to Erik’s work through questioning from Richard and responses from his girlfriend. \u00a0When Brigid responded that the high school that Erik worked at was St. Paul’s I immediately thought of the prep school St. Paul’s in my home state of New Hampshire (although I believe that Stephen is referring to a school in Scranton). \u00a0Erik and Deirdre’s potential lake house which doesn’t seem to be going to be built as Erik responds to Richard “Uh, no, that’s a long ways away” (38) is similarly revealed through questioning from Richard. \u00a0I enjoyed how Stephen was able to accurately portray dialogue throughout the play. \u00a0A question I had while reading the play is if Stephen is trying to make a social commentary on the age gap between Brigid and Richard? \u00a0Is there a potential connection to the St. Paul’s statutory rape\u00a0Owen Labrie case?
