This play is a brilliantly constructed artefact, full of people who are themselves artefacts: the human equivalent of objects without shadows. Like them, the writing is elegant, spiky and devious. An extraordinary high comedy in which broken connections, mistaken identities and tragic social, familial and cultural schisms create an hilarious and finally searing panorama of urban America in precisely our time.
Also a major film starring Donald Sutherland, Stockard Channing and Will Smith.
