Here again Chéreau's treatment, often strikingly effective in its own terms, followed Berg's structure erratically. He identified two of Lulu's customers with her former lovers but not the third.

From the beginning, Simon's writing has contained deep autobiographical overtones. For instance, the one-room attic apartment in Barefoot in the Park resembles the garret he and his wife lived in during the first year of their marriage.
