Hey NYT Brantley got it so wrong ... again! I saw this show both here and in Washington (colleagues in both productions), and I can say that this play is so underwritten. It's just a general pass over of a serious subject. Brantley fails to offer any criticism of this play giving it his highest praise. This is why the Times has become irrelevant to so many. The level of criticism has again been dumbed down.

"Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins explains that your feelings of déjà vu are perfectly, uh, appropriate." I am getting awfully tired of his style as well. Every review of his has some sort of cringe worthy, too clever by half line such as this. The Brantley fatigue is wearing us down. Big time.
