...composed of friendly recollections, but if anything, George, Being George is a bit too harsh. It may be true that he had a serious drinking problem in his declining years and was a rather horrible person to be married to, but those themes send the book out on a minor chord, particularly as friends recall Plimpton's lingering regret that he never took a proper crack at the great American novel.

And as such, Wellman’s script could potentially have been a recipe for failure, as even a minor slip of the tongue could have detracted from the playwright’s original intent. However, the actors rarely stumbled, excepting minor lapses in memory, and displayed a remarkable poise on stage through the mastery of the challenging script. Despite the show’s unorthodox approach to language...
