REVIEWS:

Ina Marlowe has done a fine job; the play is deftly paced. Joseph Gleckert (scenic design), Brian Hupke (sound), and Neil Anderson (lighting) create theatrical magic in making the doctor’s asylum office (and his refuge) an evocative, realistic place. Particularly, the cornfield looming outside the office works because it harkens back to the doctor’s somewhat troubled childhood. But creative design and good performances (particularly those of Nussbaum, Brazda, and Maureen Gallagher as a peer and lover) cannot carry the weight of some of the playwright’s conceits and inconsistency.
