On any absolute scale, the dialogue is air pollution of the highest scatological and pornographic density ever recorded on a U.S. stage. Relative to the play, it is an act of verbal violence, matching and intensifying the drama's physical violence. Just before the play ends, Foots cradles Karolis in his arms on an otherwise empty stage and bathes his battered face, as if to imply that this is an interracial love that dares not speak its name...
