...characters together for a few key confrontations, and the superb actors (Brian F. O?Byrne, Swoosie Kurtz and Laila Robbins) help keep our eyes transfixed on events almost too terrible to contemplate. The fact that this bleak and unsettling play transferred from off-Broadway to the land of Mamma Mia and The Lion King (where, even if it wins a Tony or two, it has slim chance of surviving) is a sign there?s at least some daring left on Broadway...
