A marvelously Chekhovian drama of mythic proportions! The characters are so alive, throwing themselves against every painful brick wall they can find (and each other). While I felt terrible for their suffering, I was also much amused. Americans heartbroken in the pissing-down English seaside where the English get to triumph over them, albeit politely. The musical suggestions add a dash of irony to every scene, as structural under-girdings and tone clues. Lovely.
