I think your reading is likely correct but I guess I would then ask, why did Green right it so vaguely. You did not seem to have much trouble articulating it. I've seen the play in both New York iterations. (I vaguely think I saw the original twice but I am too lazy to check.) I did not pick up on this sense personally but maybe that has something to do with what I brought with me to the current production.

I suppose I did not find it as vague as you and others and I may represent a singular minority. I simply see it as a comment on the acting and, possibly ,the direction. Of course, it could also be something that he brought to the production. We all bring, I think, certain predilections to art whether we realize it or not. Perhaps it is one of the tenets of art to challenge those predilections. I hope so. (Of course, in this case we are critiquing the critique, not the play, and that is okay as well. Criticism is an art form)
