I just saw RGDG yesterday, and thought that it was well-written, with the whole artistic team capturing the essences of the characters. Going into the show, I didn't know how the play would keep the audience's attention after the humor of the premise had worn out, but great comic timing and the development of an intriguing conflict helped us to stick with the forgetful, bumbling characters.

When the play ended, I was left with a few unanswered questions and no talk-back session, so I was wondering if anyone wanted to share their thoughts. In tackling the decades-old question, "What would happen if R+G met D+G?", the writer succeeded in finding not only a conflict, but also a resolution for the wandering but stagnant pairs. But could the impetus have come without the mysterious, didactic Man in Black? Did they need an outside vehicle to inform them of their own deep desires? Did the writer not want them to mature and be self-actualizing through the biggest change in their onstage lives? Why not?
