Eric Weiss's dream has come true. He's got the 11th-best-selling novel in the country. Donald Margulies's comedy-drama puts Eric on a pinnacle, then systematically demolishes it in six funny-serious scenes. Eric's path is never in doubt, and the conclusion comes as no surprise. What grabs, in the script and the Scripps Ranch production, is how the play becomes funnier the deeper Eric falls. Cris O'Bryon does a fine turn as Eric, slowly peeling away his illusions. Ably directed by Ruff Yeager, the cast defines characters — and caricatures — with skill.
Worth a try.
