...making the show move. Unfortunately, Saunders has given them attitudes rather than parts. In this sense. George Sheanshang is magnificently fiery as the play's quasi-narrator, and Virginia Cook, a fine comedienne, plays confusion in the best Morton Lorne manner. Leigh Woods, as an actor playing a hermit whose life is investigated by the others, makes his character live in the brief sections where the playwright lets him live.

The scenes are not remotely erotic. This is partly because Seberg is not much of an actress, partly because Gary is not much of a director, and partly because no taint of reality has been permitted to obtrude; whether she is on the beach or in bed, nary a hair...
