Compare, for instance, the warmth and easy rapport of these obviously experienced players-now in their fifth season-with the seemingly bogus spiritual communion of the Loeb actors in last year's Grotowski experiment, The Three Sisters. Grotowski's method was salient throughout the production, but it didn't add to (frequently detracted from) Chekhov's script.

And despite the fact that Yovicsin doesn't have great rapport with his players, perhaps they will try extra hard this fall in order to give him a going-away present...
