And...we have another review on
washingtonian.com"As much as the play explores art, it also looks intimately at sexuality, a subject Bennett appears to be growing more comfortable dealing with. Both Auden and Britten are revealed to be gay, although Britten, like Bennett, is far less comfortable with what that actually means. And one of the play’s most poignant moments seems to touch on both subjects, when the Australian “rent boy” (Randy Harrison) Auden has taken an interest in expresses his longing to understand what the other two men are talking about, instead of being excluded from art. “There’s always someone left,” he says. “You all have a map. I don’t.”
