		The Anglo-Irish domination of the best play category at the Tony Awards this year (David Lindsay-Abaire's "Rabbit Hole" is the only American contender) presents a rich opportunity for New Yorkers to consider the state of dramatic art in the British Isles.
		But more important, the current roster of imported Tony nominees can be seen as direct descendants of the Irish granddaddy of modern drama, Samuel Beckett, and his towering English heir, Harold Pinter, last year's Nobel laureate for literature.
		While their plays are as famous for the silences as for the words, their shared suspicion of the forms of human communication and sense of the ultimate unknowability of people, even to themselves, have left their fingerprints on even dazzlingly verbal contemporary works.

		More significantly, it's a play about character, about finding solutions to life's problems, the trust we place in these solutions, in ourselves, and in each other.
