...little gems of the movie are what make it shine. A "Dawson's Creek"-esque subplot gleefully proves more graphic than anything that you'd ever see on the WB, while a fat lawyer, and the town gigolo named Skank, whose promiscuous sexual nature seems to make its way around the tiny town more than once, heat up all the chilly proceedings.

Albee describes Martha's character as "A large, boisterous woman, 52, looking somewhat younger, ample, but not fleshy." Moulton hoofs around stage, frizzy red hair barely contained by a banana clip, more like a flouncy, black-bra-ed Roseanne than...
