Great adaptation of a great play

There's not really much to say about this video: If you like the play, then you'll love this version of it, which is as close to definitive as you could call a Wilder adaptation.

Alternately wildly comical, surreal, and deeply moving, I learn something new every time I watch this version of the play.
