...experience as a gay man, Miller then finds some underlying gay male project or condition of which this incident is a manifestation, and moves to the alternate side of the encounter to find its manifestation there. In "Two Bodies" the "gay male cultural project" is that of "resurrecting the flesh" in a culture that closets, isolates and armors male flesh rather than expose it for communal display, and Barthes participates in this project when "without at all failing to insist on the body's material lovability, [he] is moved to conceive this body in its most embarrassed state...
...hands of a less skillful writer, this complicated premise might have come off as writing-seminar pretense. But Peck has the talent and energy to flesh out his idea beautifully. Martin and John displays a keen eye for details and striking imagery: a drunken mother ensconced in a dark room "looked like an ice cube in rum;" on the open prairie "the sky gap(es) like an open mouth."

The role of Dvornicek is necessary both to sketch and flesh out the lines this play keep crossing between a Noel Coward-style romp and a post-modern mockery. The first scene is the weakest and least lively, probably because it is the most "straight" and Stoppard's script seems confined at first by the boundaries he had set for himself. The show really begins in the second scene where the silly...
...Lily herself. Will he turn her in? Not before he chews some scenery: "I am the law. Not the judges on their high benches too far from it to even smell it. I'm the one who gets shot at. The one who has to inhale the rotting flesh of the society we live in . . . There is a god, lady, and he lives down here in the gutter with the likes of me." Right, Officer...
