I have enjoyed this production more and more the more I think about it (too many mores, I know). But I often feel Albee is trying to tell me something that I'm not getting. I thought Close's outfits were odd and unflattering (and Plimpton's first one, at least until she removed the jacket), but once you said 1970, they made more sense. And I kept thinking people don't talk like these characters talk, but that's probably my sheltered life. I didn't care for Plimpton, who seemed to be yelling and trying too hard. But everyone else seemed to be at the top of their game (and agree with you about the staging), and made their best case for this play that I'm still thinking about ...
