...been a long wait. For some, like captain Bill Backman, it has taken four years. But around the 400 block of Huntington Ave today there will be nine guys prancing from building to building accepting campus congratulations and pats on the back with a grin from ear-to-ear. The people will point and some will stop and fondle the treasure...
Moonchildren is not a faultless play. In structure, it is almost too arbitrary and low-key. But Weller possesses an uncanny ear--just as Catcher in the Rye has become the high schooler's bible of enforced adolescence, Moonchildren could easily become the standard account of our generation's own delayed adulthood.

Hollywood does Schiller's and Donizetti's single meeting one better and stages two, both full of ear-splitting cliches and sounding uncannily like a commercial for Tide or Cheer. In Vivat, Bolt finds his own not particularly happy solution by placing Elizabeth and Mary onstage at the same time, but in separate scenes. TV's Elizabeth R, by far the most accurate and the best...
