...some extent, straight-men, all trying to behave reasonably. The play suffers when everybody is trying to hold it together and succeeding. During these stretches, the humor is mostly derived from sexual innuendo, which largely falls short. When the characters are trying to hold it together and failing, the interplay is far more interesting: the truly funny moments in the play come when Peter, Francis, and Brian are dealing with a drugged bank inspector propped against a wall, a mother with sharp hearing upstairs, two prostitutes in the bathroom, and a police officer at the door.

Besides, intense belly laughs can cause abdominal cramps. That's why we critics secretly watch The King of Queens...
...images and techniques in his work recur, evolve, and interact.The exhibit, Wolohojian explains, is arranged to make this fusion easier to see and appreciate. Degas’ statues of ballet dancers are placed at the same level as drawings of girls in the exact same poses, making the interplay of line and form more obvious.Wolohojian particularly drew my attention to subtle considerations. The figures in “Dancers, Nude Study” occupy two sheets of paper joined together.Degas was so interested in the composition, Wolohojian says, that “he got to the edge of the page...
