True to the novel, quite a few of the play?s scenes have gone on far too long. But length is half the point. This isn?t entertainment in the traditional sense. It?s Wallace-style capital-E Entertainment, whose primary purpose isn?t to bring enjoyment?though it can be enjoyable?but to captivate, to incapacitate, like the novel?s deadly eponymous film whose viewers are so thoroughly entertained that they cease to eat, drink, sleep and, eventually, live. There weren?t, as far as I could tell, any casualties the day[iii] I took this infinite theater tour, though a good number of my 150 fellow travelers dropped out before the sun came up. As with the novel, the play was very much a test of endurance.
