Two human beings, in flesh and blood, but also representatives of their offices. 结尾给我的震撼原来始终就是作者写作的初衷，太强了，能够把自己的概念完整地传达出来的作者真的好棒。啊我可真喜欢看作者自序
能感觉Morgan对女王深深的喜爱，整篇用PM的对话串起了时代里的大事件和女王的立场。给Wilson的篇幅最多，女王的偏爱给了很了创作空间，他机敏又很有说话的艺术，大概对话是整篇最轻松愉悦的片段了，但他年轻时的过目不忘到后期的阿兹海默还是有点难受。很喜欢女王和过去的自己对话的设计，短短的对话塑造了智慧而通透的形象，她非常清楚自己与PM的关系，在很多事务虽然立场不同观点不一，还是选择支持自己的PM，几个小片段也选的很好，一个是Eden对话里的Suez Canal危机，Eden整个赤裸裸一强盗形象还很暴躁；一个是撒切尔反对南非种族隔离制裁事件，感觉作者也没有特别踩拉谁，只是隐晦提到撒切尔儿子与南非的生意来往；还有卡梅伦谈脱欧。终于知道the queen里的stag的隐喻，原来是女王自己。
Act I的结尾没有舞台剧时候的女王加冕来得有气势
以小见大。
很有意思。女王的视角，时间的交错，加上一些witty的小对话。反正我是喜欢大英小剧的感觉~
