The four of us


To go to the theatre mid to late week is often fraught with danger for me. I'm often relieved that there isn't an interval so that it finishes at a reasonable time. Although this show didn't need to be shortened and would also have been too disrupted by an interval.
The set was great- they must have been working their little hearts out backstage as they changed the scenes behind each of the doors. The logistics of ensuring that things were set in the right place so the actors could access things like laptops, notebooks, cups of coffee etc was really efficient.
The play it self covered an interesting aspect of friendship and envy.
The review in the NY Tines in one part said "Mr. Moses writes fluidly naturalistic dialogue, but you may feel as if you’re eavesdropping on the dorm-roomish conversations of two clever but not wildly interesting young men." In some part I agree with this view but I thought the emotional development by both young men was fabulous.
