Whether by design or accident, the timing of the snatch heightened the drama. It came on the seventh anniversary of the Congo's independence from Belgium.

His last act contains at least three brilliant curtains, as if he couldn't decide when to end his play, and ended it three times just for good measure. Not only that; his second act goes on forever, and some of his poetic dialect is redolent of the absurd sailor-talk O'Neill wrote when...
