"The task of mixing politics with drama without sounding pedantic or jingoistic or fanatic is difficult to pull off. This play subtly weaves love, ego, politics, and academia into a nice read. It won't knock your pants off like a tumbler of Johnny Walker Black. Instead it sips like a snifter of Remy Martin Cognac. Subtle and tasty."
"Quite simply my favorite play ever. On the surface, it may seem hard to understand, but once you get into it, get to know and understand the characters, it just gets under your skin. Or it did mine. LOVE it!!! (Probably didn't hurt I saw it 10 times on Broadway!)"
"It is a political drama play. But wait, don't get discouraged by this. I am also not into reading politics. But when saw a Broadway play this year, with Julianne Moore stage debut (she was the reason I went to see the play) - I absolutely loved it! And had to buy the book to read it again.
It is about an American female activist, who was a war reporter, and became an academic to teach political studies at Yale. She is dating this British guy, and goes to England to visit his father, a rich British doctor. The dialog that they engage in is intriguing and arousing, shows how the American and British cultures clash, and how the rest of the world is looking at the recent American invasion of Iraq, and how Americans perceive it.
At the same time, it is also about the personal choices that we make in this life, the people we are with, the people that we connect with, etc.
