The players are perfect, and Dustin Hoffman is pluperfect. Apart from turning Harold Pinter upside down and dispelling all the potential menace in laughter, Playwright Livings achieves one added distinction: he has done an anatomy of modern mass man. As the stereotype has it, this is the man who will be reduced to electronic button pushing and social homogeneity, tutored to spend his leisure time with Shakespeare and symphonies. Brose shows...
