...evening is to act as if she were the only person onstage. Since she delivers her part of the dialogue like nightclub one-liners, she might as well be alone. As Hedda's sinister admirer Judge Brack, Timothy West is as sensually menacing as a puff of cigar smoke. If Patrick Stewart's Luvborg has "vine leaves in his hair," they are not Greek but plastic.

...years, which encourages readers to alter their conceptions of the world. Cuddihy's presentation is flawed by excessive zeal. If a Jew utters a word like coarse, he automatically triggers, in Cuddihy's mind, visions of the primal scream. (Though, as Freud once pointed out, sometimes a cigar is only a cigar.) Cuddihy also has a tendency to expand a quirky coincidence into a theory of cultural history...
