Isn't it wonderful! I'm watching it for the second time now (literally now -- got it paused on the other screen) and am about halfway through the last episode.
You saw "My Rights Versus Yours" at VVC, right? It's lovely -- that's one that I've been watching over and over again.
Which are her and Richard kind of like Macbeth and his wife?
Oh yes, but I wouldn't try too hard to shoehorn the characters into a tidy package of "X S&A character equals Y Shakespeare character." The parallels are done with a light touch, combined and recombined. Such a rich show.
I think Richard is -- well, not my favorite, but one of the most interesting characters. He's weak and snively and moderately well-intentioned and complex. It must have been really tempting for the writers to make him a redemption story, have him just grow and bloom and leave behind his weasely ways, but he never does, quite. It's almost uncomfortably true to life.
And I think I fangirl Susan Coyne (who plays Anna and was one of the writers). I'll have to hunt up more of her work.
