...story is enhanced, aside from the meat locker and frying pan, by other props, such as an actual screen and video camera (used both for Adam's commercials and Adam's "love affair" with Peter.) The characters appear live on both the screen and the stage, further developing the many dimensions of the play. The play is crafty in all its manifestations--diologue, set design and progression--testimony to Ross' artistic talents and sense of overall composition...
Faludi makes an unlikely polemicist. Smart, shy, with a self-deprecating manner, she claims to be more comfortable in front of a terminal than a camera. An alumna of Harvard, the Miami Herald and the Atlanta Constitution, she has left the Wall Street Journal -- where she won a Pulitzer Prize last year for a Journal story tracing the human cost of the $5.65 billion leveraged buyout of Safeway -- in order to handle the flood of speaking requests her book has generated...

For example, after two KOd bodies are strewn across the ring, the camera, emulating tactics delineated in the World Wrestling Federation hand-book, pans down on them from above. Audience laughter undoubtedly follows this most unsubtle ploy...
