...Follin and his colleagues, Ernest Grey and Kwang Yu, explain it, cosmic rays act like cue balls in a kind of nuclear billiard game. When they strike and shatter atoms in the upper atmosphere, they produce a shower of subatomic bits of matter moving at great speed. When these so-called "secondary cosmic rays" collide with atoms in a cloud, they knock electrons from them. Accelerated in the cloud's electric field, these electrons avalanche toward the bottom of the cloud and pile up there...
Every element in the Loeb production conspires to undercut the play's serious intention. As if taking the cue from Donald Soule's unbalanced set design, which places the richly-colored tavern hearth flush against the dry burlap of symmetrical castle towers, the comic scenes, appearing in the midst of the serious, only seem to mock them.

In the opening scene, the jokes die; the players appear lifeless, like actors reading cue cards. But the dialogue quickly snaps up, the performers relax with their roles, and work with each other until the humor comes spontaneously...
