I'm assuming you mean the Will Eno play. I love it, and did consider directing it at my school. I thought I had a great group of actors for it, but ultimately I decided against it. We do a series of playreadings during the summers of scripts that are under consideration for production the following year, and the students were both drawn to its darkness and concerned about it; basically, I felt the same. I think I would only do it if I had full-throated support from the administration and counseling staff at my school.
