...particularly Alden Watson as Richard Greatham. His style of controlled bewilderment and priggish dismay enlivens the potentially flat role of the conservative diplomat. Jill Abramson vamps madly in her part as the inane and brainless ingenue, but her squeaky voice, exaggerated walk, and batting eyes quickly become tiresome. Joanna Blum is convincing as the sophisticated woman-about-town who tries (to no avail) to pull the Bliss family out of their hopeless theatrics. She, like Abramson, has a formula of winking eyes and sleek walk which loses its charm after repeated usage...

...Joanna Blum (Mrs. Pedley), Patricia Shallcross (Lil), and Susie Fisher (Mrs. Beesley), don't get bogged down in the bathos of their roles. The implicit humor in their outlooks saves the play from becoming a light-weight tragedy. The three of them also avoid most of the pitfalls of an affected English accent.
