I have seen this play six times, and because its genius is the dialogue, reading the script is just as good. The published version is almost a score, clearly indicating the beats of the dialogue, and seeing or reading the play multiple times will reveal how many hints of disaster to come were subtly given in advance. If you like Aaron Sorkin, you will probably like Richard Greenberg, too. (
