An extraordinary and very moving play

This heartfelt and moving play shifts back and forth in time but maintains a single setting: the living room of a Manhattan mansion. The two contrasting timeframes are used to explicate Wasserstein's themes or art vs.commerce, of love and loss. This is a thoughtful and beautiful work, and I can't recommend it highly enough.This play should be read by anyone with an interest in American drama.
