...more subtle instances of collaboration, such as a scrawled “See notes here!” in red pencil on plans, Neutra’s reminders to himself to consult the Browns’ suggestions. Windshield utilizes a variety of Neutra’s drawings to convey the evolutionary process of the project, but simultaneously treats each work as a drawing in its own right.

It is obvious that they are both rather tedious whiners. In later scenes, which are supposed to convey a shift of power and cause the audience to repeatedly reconsider its views about tacit sexual intimidation, the play appears wildly uneven because of the lack of initial conflict...
