| | Aisle Say (NY): TWO PIANOS, FOUR HANDS (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Those who say it's too specialized, or that it's characters are drawn in too slender a mannerand there are a prominent few critics who have said just thatand who, you'd think, would know betterare missing the point, seriously lacking "get-it-ness" and probably in need of a soul transplant. |
 | | Though the authorship credit reads "created and performed by" Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt, probably to avoid the potential pretension of calling this clear dual autobiography a play, "Two Pianos, Four Hands" is every bit a play, and a brilliantly crafted one, within its parameters. |
 | | The play never touches upon any aspect of their lives outside the piano; ironically, this does not make the characters sketchyfor one gets the distinct impression that it is the piano that makes them whole; that their life beyond the piano simply doesn't have the same depth or meaning. |
