"Earlier Quentins, including Jason Robards (who created the part) and Frank Langella, are said to have deployed every phrase-electrifying, soul-illuminating weapon in their dramatic arsenals.

In contrast, Mr. Krause delivers Quentin's ontological rants with, at best, the perplexed concentration of someone who is not mechanically inclined reading a car repair manual."

OUCH!

well, I can't say I totally disagree -- Peter's performance was not that terrific -- although I may have been more tactful

Did Mr. B take his nasty pill again?

I can go with Brantley on Krause but his faint praise for the superb Carla Gugino is entirely irksome.

I totally agree with that review, for the exception of Carla...she was very good

I really did not like this production one bit
