I disagree. I think she's an insightful critic and a brilliant writer and the best thing to happen to the NYT in years. But I respect your opinion.

It's a very interesting and sweetly earnest play. While the two young actors gave physically compelling performances, I wish the director had worked with them a bit more on their enunciation. Much of what they had to say was rushed and incomprehensible (the two adult actors were marvelous throughout). No one else, as far as I know, has mentioned this. I saw the final preview Sunday night and perhaps they were just tired after what I imagine was an exhausting final week of previews.
