...cast is shatteringly good. Uta Hagen fills Martha with pantherish ferocity and untamed vulgarity. In a skillfully modulated performance, Arthur Hill as George limns a memorable portrait of the sadist as A.B., M.A., Ph.D. George Grizzard makes Nick a moral chameleon with all the courage of his connections, and when Nature passed out brains, Melinda Dillon's Honey was given cotton candy. The charged intensity that Director Alan Schneider brings to an evening full of talk is based on one penetrating insight-talk can kill, and murder is rarely a bore...

Three more characters, each called Bartholomeus, turned up and began to unravel funny skeins of academic pedantry in argument with the playwright...
