A review by videotape
The Imitation Game: Three Plays for Television by Ian McEwan, Ian McEwan

dark medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? N/A
  • Strong character development? N/A
  • Loveable characters? N/A
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

I think my problem with McEwan's writing is that he too often borders on the weird for futile reasons. The first two plays both feel quite randomly strange, while the imitation game - while interesting - feels rushed and incomplete.
