Spirited performance of inadvertently-funny O'Neill play., 25 February 2000
10/10
Author: Keith Henderson (keith_henderson@email.msn.com) from Emeryville, California

Great fun, and fine performances from the ensemble cast that surround mock heroic figure Weaver, whose mantra is "I was with them, but not among them." If you dislike the self-importance and self-pity in O'Neill's "major" works (as I do), you will find it a pleasure to see him unintentionally deconstruct himself in this less-performed play.
