I’ve wanted to read this play since Judd Hirsch and Danny Devito were in a production together several years ago. I kind of forgot about it until recently when I was scrolling through my TBR. I laughed out loud at a couple of lines, but I think reading it like a book takes away a lot of the nuance that’s meant to be there. I didn’t quite grasp the point of the play. I’d still be curious to see a production sometime.
