...play to be written in the sixties. Like Shakespeare, it manages to be both an actor's and an audience's play at the same time. R & G really isn't about anything, except maybe words and appearance and reality, and some other things that would sound like the gamut of modern drama cliches if they weren't so funny onstage.
