...illusive freedoms men surrender in a futile attempts to capture other freedoms they can never possess. But in tone, it is quite the opposite from the explicitness and boldness that often act as blinders on the visions of modern theatre. This play's tone is much more akin to Bergman's delicate Smiles of a Summer Night. On Turgenev's pages, the dots of suspension, and on the stage, is characters' embarrassed pauses should alone be to tell a story quite eloquent. It is a comedy, but a very special kind of comedy, one full of sweet pathos...
