Act one reminds me of the wry wit of Neil Simon as the policeman tries to deal with a ancient Jewish appraiser. Act two gets serious when the surgeon shows up and they try to reestablish their relationship. Permeating these scenes is the policeman's marital strife. So, I guess that there is something for everyone in this play.
