This tasteful display provides a directcontrast with the outrageous antics occurringonstage. Indeed, this production of Butleris explicitly clear about conveying Orton'soffhand trivializations of incest, alcoholism andbrawny naked men. The characters become undressedas spontaneously as they walk onstage and wheneverthey do manage to redress themselves, it is alwayswith someone else's clothing, and that someone isalways of the opposite sex.

He chronicles the tale with a dispassionate, removed manner that subordinates the disturbing incest subplot to the larger story. Egoyan appears interested in broader themes than the dark underside of small towns, a theme long exhausted.
