Suffering has not ennobled the Ekdals. As played with ruthless candor by Richard Bauer, the father is a self-pitying drunk. His wife (Tana Hicken), prematurely gray and hardened, thinks only of money and business. Their daughter (Rebecca Ellens) is a fanciful child who has learned none of the % social graces.

Menes, as Lady Duncan-cum-witch, slinks gracefully around the stage, an able...
...Katt is pulled through the door and carried back to Vietnam where he discovers that a dead soldier buddy of his has been the root of all his residential difficulties. (I swear. This is for real.)
