I read this in preparation for a post-performance discussion of the play this weekend. It's extremely well done, allows the reader to 'see' the entire play in their imagination, and reinforces my long-standing belief that Holmes' arrogance/bravado was simply his way of cutting to the chase. two sentences in the author's note will stick with me for a long time, providing many a chuckle: "He (Holmes) is anxious, moody, vain, opinionated, caustic, and empirical. He could wipe the floor with Donald Trump." Note that this was penned in 2006, well before many caught on to said blowhard. ( )
