With attitudes, and the language we use to express them, drastically changing in the nearly four decades since Children of a Lesser God first hit New York, the play's criticism of well-intentioned coddling of those of diverse abilities is now pretty much preaching to the choir. The play might be best viewed today as a period piece that helped popularize a way of thinking that is now much more widely accepted.

Lacking that solid thematic foundation, Medoff's play deflates into just another romantic drama about mismatched lovers struggling to surmount their differences and live happily ever after. The writer doesn't seem to have any special aptitude for the language of love, and his efforts to lighten it up - as in a cringeworthy scene in which James climbs a tree to reach Sarah's room - are embarrassing. While I don't mean to cast aspersions on Jackson's appeal, he doesn't give off much heat for a lover with a burning heart.
