Tracy Letts is a great idea for Ill but, having seen the play tonight, this doesn't have a hope in hell of surviving in NYC in this iteration at least -- sluggish, overwritten, deeply attenuated, and tonally uncertain. Manville is hugely watchable but forced by the writing to play a one-note sardonicism throughout and the result is an unrewarding, tendentious slog that ain't goin' anywhere.

Ben Brantley was in the house tonight, apparently.

It's never hard to tell the writers from the performers on All That Chat.
