I saw The Lover/The Collection the other week and I enjoyed the latter more as well. I loved it because on the surface it was characters talking seriously about the psychological damage of this rumoured affair and then if you looked below the surface and examined all the double entendres you realised that everyone was sleeping with everyone and it was all quite nuts. The most obvious, which I particularly loved, was Gina Mckee's stage prop of a white fuzzy kitten and that one of the characters then went on about how he'd met this woman and played with her kitten. If anything the acting could have been even more wooden just to emphasise the brilliance of the writing, but they were all really good regardless.
