As uncertain as our retirement futures appear [BUSINESS, July 29], I am deeply bothered by the financial wastefulness and frivolousness of American households, as illustrated by Maria and George Rudd in your article.

The play wouldn't work as seductively as it does-the set-up, the darkening, the climactic switcheroo-without four beguiling actors who make their characters plausible at the sweetest and harshest of moments. (Rudd is especially adroit at suggesting Adam's metamorphosis from nerd to hunk.) Only at the end do we realize exactly who has been manipulated by a clever artist. We have...
