A difficult play to get one's teeth into, but then again, I think that's at least partly the point - it seems to be a play primarily about effect, and more particularly a distinct effect of unsettledness. At one of its centres, a pair of disturbed clowns, Goldberg and McCann; at another, the curiously blank Stanley; throughout, language is seen distorting and losing its moorings; in another way, it seems to be 'about' power and authority. Well worthwhile, though I was left with the nagging feeling that the production may not quite have done justice to the play. (All of that said, I seemed to like it more than the others with me.)
