I personally like the muted tone, the heavy-handed psychoanalysis, and the \"intimate\" conversation. I can see how it\'s not to everybody\'s taste.

Eric seemed to be fascinated by psychology and psychoanalysis, and viewing controversial subjects through the light of same as a playwright. \"Sapphire\" was profile of child abuse with a main character in some ways more sinister than any of his \"To catch a predator\" contemporaries. \"The Phantom Lullaby\" (I think that was the title of her play) was a profile of the after-effects of abortion (a brave thing to take on back in 1970s New York City, let alone today). And neither of these two plays frame their subjects that pleasantly). And one of the most incredible (though it wasn\'t the best in terms of listening pleasure) RMT plays I\'ve ever heard was her obscure \"No way out\" with Earl Hammond taking a tour through numerology - I\'ve NEVER heard any play or show, RMT or otherwise, skewer a non-Christian cult like this one.<br>
