Curious to read this because it was slammed in William Goldman's The Season. A good play is in here trying to get out. It doesn't get out.
It's a three hander with a decent central story - a married couple arrive at a house trying to get possession of it off the man's half brother. The half brother is part black which is interesting as is the fact his brother is a tranvestite. The wife is a former show girl.
But the characters don't really leap off the stage, there's no heat between the wife and the half brother, the ticking clock of the incoming flood is underutilised.. The death of the transvestite has some power but there's too much chat and it feels undercooked.
