When Polley disappears after 40 minutes, you may feel no one can take her place; then Diggs (our choice for Afro-fab star of the future) assumes center screen and is just as beguiling.

The process is agonizingly slow--the average pace is about two characters a minute--but it should eventually improve. And compared with utter silence, it must seem blistering...
...characters in pools of light surrounded mostly by darkness. Their isolation is symbolized further by the play's most startling and curious scene: Dan lures Larry into a bogus rendezvous by posing as a sluttish girl in an Internet chat room, their cyberencounter typed out on a giant computer screen onstage...
