Oh, Warhorse. I really want to see it - I mean, it won the Tony for Best Play and everything - but... yeah, it's true. It does have incredibly elaborate prop!characters, but it needs it, and it works. I think there's a point at which you do need to have basic plays so that basic theater companies with small budgets can do them, and because when they're simpler, they can be left up to greater interpretation which is a good thing... but elaborate plays can work too~
