This hypothetical (but possible) selection of wines -- all American, all good -- is singular in one respect. Not one of the wines is a product of California or New York, although these two rank first and a distant second among the nation's winemaking states.

All three are characteristically bleak and acidulous comedies staged by the author himself. The conventional wisdom about Ayckbourn has been that he started as a boulevard farceur and turned darker in the course of his 39 plays. Yet Absurd, from supposedly sunnier days in 1971, shows that acutely observed misery and hypocrisy have been his comic subjects all along. The funniest scene...
