there's a phenomenal audiobook version on Audible, maybe elsewhere, with a new translation, read by Alessandro Juliani,  who played  Gaeta on Battlestar.  It is just unbelievably good.  I drove  200 miles once and still stayed in the car for a few minutes after while listening to it.

I suppose so. But it is still a dickish, nasty remark.  Everyone here seems to be hung up on the idea that the families are litigious jerks and so the time for sympathy is over, even when the theater does something so wildly offensive and clueless like invite people to the scene of their family members' slaughter so…
