...does Frank's pandemic success mean that people will rush out and purchase a memoir by his younger brother Malachy, 66, specifically A Monk Swimming (Hyperion; 290 pages; $23.95)?

Although the play's length (two-and-a-half-hours) may seem daunting to some, the show is so skillfully realized and so well paced that the time is well spent.
