Inconsolable,
By adead_poet@hotmail.com "adead_poet@hotmail.com" (Beaumont, tx USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Drinks Before Dinner (Paperback)
This play seems to be an interesting essay doctorow wrote, and he put it in a play format to make it different. there isn't much action, so reading the play may be as effective as seeing it (though i don't know for sure). it has the danger of getting melodramatic. it fits well with The Book of Daniel. But beware of the ending of Act One. It's rather cheesy. Doctorow loses his subtlety there and really should rewrite it.
