Summary: Well-wrtten play will delight you
Comment: I've seen this play twice, and I am amazed by the depth of character and attention to detail in the written form. Greenberg has obviously paid attention to the sport press, and the various players in the game of baseball. There are redneck baseball players who make horrific remarks, and there are also meek Japanese players. I dislike baseball, and I rarely watch baseball and the ensuing media, but even I know that the characters in Greenberg's play have real-life counterparts.
The play is crisply written, and deals honestly with many issues. The characters are not one dimensional, but multi-dimensional. The redneck character (Shane) is a lot more complicated than the previous character would you have believe. His motives for his actions are never as obvious as the previous reviewer would have you believe. The character of Mason falls in love with the game of baseball, and it's a joy to read even if you dislike baseball like I do.

Summary: Grand Slam!!!
Comment: Wow! Read this (or better yet, see it) and marvel at the wonders of great playwriting. Dazzling writing + a great story = amazing theatre. The characters jump off the page. This is NOT a "gay play", but a story about choices, courage and consequences. Squeezed in there is a monologue on baseball that is destined to achieve classic status and would make anyone want to head out to the ballfield. Somehow all of the elements of this play just work, though I defy anyone to explain how, in simple terms. It doesn't seem complex, but it is. This is what great writing for the theatre is all about...still alive and well in the 21st century: smart, provocative, fun and moving! Thank you Richard Greenberg!

Summary: Far from his best work but still well written and fun
Comment: This is far from Greenberg's best work but it's a well written entertaining play. Due to the extensive nudity in the play, this is his most commercial hit.
