Your comment regarding vaudeville sent me rummaging to find and then reading my script. I can't find a reference to vaudeville. I'm sure it is there, but I can not find it. I remember finding the TV thing odd but was informed that this is Jerry. Both the inquiry by Jerry and the response by Peter are important character references.

I just realized you must be referring to the implied vaudeville structure of the circumstance of the play. If so, then yes, I get it. Many others have talked about that in this and other Albee plays especially "Who's Afraid...." and "A Delicate Balance". Is that what you mean or am I totally missing something?

there is is. It has totally gone over my head for nigh on, well, many years. It is so theatrical and so "Albee" biographical, I guess it never registered with me. I dunno, though, would it really be outside the referential vocabulary of 'Jerry' even today? Maybe.
