There is nothing obviously theatrical about the Allen Ginsberg who scutters among friends and fumbling technicians. One thirtyish woman in the audience, a "fan," fails to recognize him. Says she: "He looks like any college professor." Gone are the flowing beard, the Zapata mustache, the ragbag tatters.

George, in many ways, represents Simon, who faced a similar situation when he abruptly married actress Marsha Mason some time after his first wife's death. The girl in the play, also an actress, is loving and supportive--which is exactly the problem. George cannot reconcile his love for his new wife with...
