Mamet was clever to juxtapose these two plays: one drama answers the dilemmas of the other in a very sober and natural way, and George and Emil (Jerry Gershman and Ted Kazanoff) interact like a violin duet, weaving the problems of the evening and life into some simple sense...
...grave robbers damage antiquities and also trample on important archaeological clues, such as ash, seeds and bone fragments, that can reveal much about ancient civilizations. U.S. Archaeologist Emil Peterson tells how he and his team of diggers from Quito's Central Bank museum would spend weeks at a site, painstakingly excavating only a few inches at a time in order to preserve all possible traces. Then one morning they would find that thieves had come by in the night and obliterated most of the evidence. Eventually, barbed wire had to be installed and guards posted...

Robert Sevra's singing voice is a bit too strained for the fickle-hearted Tom. As up-and-coming composer Sid, Doyle Newberry is fittingly earnest, but (like most real composers) he isn't much of a singer. Russ Beasley is stiff as Sam Herzig, a producer, but he looks like any producer's dream of a handsome, mustachioed matinee idol. And Carl Nicholas...
