I had the pleasure to read the stage directions for a reading of this play recently; what a fabulous dissection of a young marriage. Funny and devastating, Kerr keeps peeling back the layers of this dysfunctional relationship with the skill of a young Albee; his use of humor is as dark, and as hilarious. He also uses repetition to startling effect; there are many loops in this play, yet everything is perfectly clear and the forward momentum never ceases. A really terrific work from a really terrific playwright.
