		Roy's (relative) certainty about his identity and the meaning of what he has chosen to do provides the play with a stable center (though it represents a disruption in the homogeneous middle-American world of the play).
		The confusion and hesitation is all around him, and though Roy has his moments of doubt and fear as the narrative unfolds, these too center on his relationships with those he loves rather than the ‘issues’ for himself.
		Bridges has some choice moments of both drama and comedy, and he handles the emergence of the character’s sense of growth and freedom beautifully.

		BRIDGES: Well, certainly we are an element of the program and we do have certain responsibilities such as foreign object damage, inspections before flight, and then analyzing the film to see if we see anything in it and reporting that to the program.
		GEHMAN: General Bridges, these orbiters are now 20-plus years old; and as they go through processing, it's possible that you will begin to see symptoms in these orbiters, as they go through the KSC processing facility, that are similar to what you had in your previous experience in the case of ageing military aircraft.
		BRIDGES: Well, I think, to answer your question very directly, that we do need to invest in additional non-destructive evaluation equipment and have state of the art here in order to do a very good job of that; and that was one of the projects put on the list at this select panel last week.

		His novels, but especially those to do with Van Diemen's Land in the convict era (and more narrowly during the Lieutenant-Governorship of George Arthur from 1824-36) are intelligent, mannered, iconoclastic, obsessive.
