With the introduction of the characters comes an immediate sense of foreboding. You know right away that something's amiss, and throughout the play you try and try to figure it out. Watching the play, for me, was like watching a Mary Higgins Clark murder mystery come to life. There's tragedy, deception, falsehood, illusion and confusion. It's dreadful in the beginning. The jokes are hit and miss, the dialogue is a bit confusing and at times inaudible; the whole plot seems like a muddled mess, but right before the intermission, things start to come together, and by the time you've returned to your seat, you can't wait to see how it will all end. Being my first play in New York, I found the atmosphere to be surprisingly casual. All the music is pre - recorded, and most of the audience wore t - shirts and jeans. So, it really was like sitting in someone's livingroom, watching drama ensue. Bravo!
