‘Window’ offers cloudy but interesting view
Pittsburgh Courier: "The challenge of writing a script is in conveying the complexity of human behavior in a form that is accessible without being condescending and keeping the interest of the audience while entertaining. Sometimes the complexity can overburden the script and the result may be a lingering unanswered question."

I wholeheartedly agree with this article, but it is rather a depressing thought. However, just by reading the short description of the play, I thought two things. First, I decided the play sounded like it was trying to0 hard to be meaningful and came across as trivial not to mention whiny. Secondly, I found myself desperately hoping that there was at least some amazing technical element or added moment of suspense that could possibly turn this show around. At least they do report that the problem isn't a result of lack of effort, but it is always a shame to work on a show that already is seen as a downhill spiral.
