| Do 40 something brothers really behave that way? I could see 20 something horsing around. im still not sure why matt looks at person in charge at end. I think the point of the play is that having the priveleged white upbringing demands a successful career, which Matt doesnt. I dont buy that premise. There are many reasons for people that are successful or failures. | |

| I think the point of the play is that having the privileged white upbringing demands a successful career The point of the play is that Matt has no way of renouncing privilege (aka "stepping back") that doesn't read as "damaged loser." I'm basing this assertion on interviews with the writer. This is extremely tricky to bring off, and most reviewers miss it. I assume Lee added the two 'outside' characters (since the NY premiere) in an attempt at clarification. |

| Boy, the annotating witnesses seem incredibly arch as a concept. If it works, great. Can’t help but wonder why the 4 men can’t break the 4th wall. Two more non-participants add that hip meta thing I guess. | |
