...unannounced and wreak havoc. So rude! Not 1997 XF11, as the scientists so imaginatively named our space Kevorkian. It made a reservation. We were provided the exact date of arrival: Oct. 26, 2028. A Thursday. Gives you time to clear some space on your calendar, pencil in the appointment. Note to Self: Thursday--run amuck in sheer terror before being blown to smithereens along with everyone and everything I've ever known and loved...
Many of these issues come fully to light only in the play's well-developed final scene, which ends on a surprising, thought-provoking note. Margulies is careful to spend most of the play's duration developing an intimate, caring relationship between Ruth and Lisa, showing that two writers can interact positively, at least for a while.

What was most beautiful about this movement was the way in which Russell sustained the upper register notes, almost "sighing" over to the next measure and continuing on with his song. Because of Tipler's control over the orchestra, Russell...
...awaking from eighteen years of slumber, describes how suddenly "nobody seems to be able to endure being by themselves...but at the same time they're isolated. People work much more, only to go home and surf the Internet and send e-mail rather than calling or writing a note or visiting each other." Yet as the story plows on, the barrage of philosophical ramblings begin to take on a preachy tone which descends into irritating evangelism. In the end, ghost-jock Jared returns to heal his lost friends one by one, bringing them hope for the future and divulging...
