Title: Well crafted character study
Review: Marber's skill in the mechanics of writing drama is the some of the most solid I've come across. The arc of the play isn't very broad, but the dissolution of the main character, Howard Katz, is compelling and disturbing. Although Marber does descend into philosophical/spiritual soliloquies, something I am not terribly fond of in drama, and Katz's redemption is unconvincing, the play as a whole is quite engaging. At a minimum, this play is a stark lesson on not being an a--hole.
