A Legacy

Last read: The Flies - Sartre.

Upon re-reading this, I was struck that I never fully realized before just how Nietzschean this play is. It is full of references to the "spirit of gravity", and to "my way" . This work really needs more exposure. It also has Hamlet connections, Christ imagery and few lines that could be straight out of a Neil Gaiman work, and it may even be a little Star Wars-esque in terms of the Hero's journey. Some one really needs to make a film of this.
