I wasn't expecting this to be a comedy. It's a satire of the upper middle class social structure. Oates uses black humor to make her point. Oates' subject matter seems to have been ahead of her time. This play premiered nearly a quarter century ago, but it could have been ripped from today's headlines
Oates seems to have written herself into a box that she can't manage to get out of. Maybe she found it more difficult to wrap up a comedy than to end a tragedy. Half of the cast in this live recording didn't sound natural. Barbara Bosson as Tobias's wife, Paula, and David Schwimmer as his son, Jason, nailed their roles. ( )
