just from an artistic standpoint, those plays are pathetic. they would be embarrassing from a misguided 14 year old taking a playwriting class at a creative arts camp, let alone a student at a top-tier college. to a certain extent his detachment probably stemmed from a feeling of shame and inferiority based on his emotional retardedness. but he must have been intelligent to overcome being an immigrant and what not and going to Va Tech. Its a tragedy he didn't have a sense of humor or the ability to make friends to help him get his head out of his own a--.
i mean, those plays are just terrible. pure, irredeemable garbage. mr. brownstone? he apes the GNR song by including a character named Mr. Brownstone who won't "leave him alone" (straight from the song) . . . then acknowledges the song and then transcribes the lyrics. off the charts bad. off the charts immature.
this guy had some seriously twisted emotions - but perhaps not entirely unlike a lot of folks who gravitated to Depeche Mode, or Russian literature or whatever artistic outlet before him - and he was ultimately too stupid or evil or unlucky or immature or just plain doomed to not completely blow it . . . well, obviously much, much worse than just blow it.
