Laura and Todd, both journalists, had been out for an evening of drinks with colleagues following a particularly horrific day covering the news. Gradually, the herd had thinned out until it was just the two of them, alone at the bar near 3 a.m. with a sudden weight of sexual tension between them.

Richard Dreyfuss and Kevin Spacey are both Oscar winners who were once popular movie stars and hailed as two of the most talented actors in Hollywood. But over the years they have proven themselves to be problematic men whose life choices have arguably hurt their careers and left them struggling financially. Now comes a strange, sad story about how the actors' 2009 professional collaboration figured into Spacey's MeToo-era downfall and led to Dreyfuss becoming estranged from his three adult children.

The director's voice breaks the fourth wall with as much subtlety as a character waking up to say that everything was merely a dream.

How to describe what I heard from the orchestra? It happened one night at the Booth Theater during a preview performance of John Proctor Is the Villain. Raelynn Nix (Amalia Yoo), the preacher's daughter, was delivering the final part of her monologue: "One day, maybe, the new world we were promised will actually be new. One day, maybe, the men in charge won'tbe in charge anymore." The scene is wrenching; the audience held its breath.
