...honest with them. Kent, Greg's friend at the big-box store where they work - the kind of place the people in Impressionism or God of Carnage have probably never walked into - is one of LaBute's signature characters: the brutish user of women, cheating on his wife (a cute security guard at the store) and enlisting the weakling Greg in his deception. LaBute's plays often take surprise twists, but not here; the characters play out their roles to the bitter, inevitable conclusion...
...driver kept one hand (barely) on the steering wheel while his other shoved a stack of local currency, the som, into my face. He insistently urged me to trade the money for dollars. After checking in at the grim Hotel Uzbekistan, a nattily clad porter showed me and my wife to a room, fiddled with a broken TV set, and then reached into his jacket pockets for large bricks of som.

In the bank? This seemed like a much safer bet, a bet that returned for over 30 years...
...suit complete with a red and blue striped tie—reflects his concern with an outward appearance and reputation that gets Uncle Sam’s stamp of approval. Anna Smith’s turn as Joe’s Valium-addicted, sex-starved wife Harper is not quite on par with Breaux’s performance. She has mastered Harper’s childlike sense of wonder but emits too much humor and cheerfulness during Harper’s moments of despair. These qualities serve her well in Harper’s scenes of fantasy but detract from...
