...MOST grandiose claim that Peter Collier and David Horowitz make about their huge new history of the Rockefeller family is that while "the Rockefellers had suffered from being treated either as saints or demons," they "would be part of neither camp." They're right about that --although the family has discreetly attacked the book--and their success at presenting a view of the Rockefellers that is not only objective but deep and understanding as well is genuinely impressive...

In contrast, Tony Horowitz as Norman and Diane Sherlock as Shelley are marvelously convincing caricatures. Ethan Dmitrovsky plays Willis the landlord Archie Bunker-style; his dream monologue is the most haunting moment of the play...
