There's a brilliant theatrical moment that neither reading nor listening to this play can ever quite re-create. In the final act, while characters from both time-periods are sharing the stage, Augustus/Gus (the younger brother in both time-periods, played by the same actor) comes in the door, and for a moment you don't know which century he's in.

This play is one of my go-tos for an example of what theatre can do that film and television cannot. Because theatre depends on the audience's imagination to create its reality (more so, or at least differently, than film), more than one reality can be simultaneously present, and time and space and distance can be collapsed.

I've never had the chance to see it, and I really would like to. I suppose when things return to "normal"...

Cool, thanks!
