Only when Kelly denies his work this imagery of encounter and compression does it lean to dullness, as in a set of large rectangular panels, each painted one flat primary color, which have the look of august and boring decoration and cannot hold...
Much of the mood in Minnesota has to do with the comparatively unspoiled land. Southern Minnesota is an expanse of rolling countryside, a patchwork of rectangular fields, the loam that has made Minnesota the country's third largest corn producer (after Iowa and Nebraska), the soil that yields 100 bushels of corn and 40 bushels of soybeans to the acre. To the north and west, the land flattens into prairies that merge going eastward, with hills of nearly primeval forest. The northwestern lands are more sandy, but rich enough to produce ample crops of wheat...

But the backdrop, seen through three rectangular frames, turns out to be a series of projected slides that change with every scene. This clever technique, highly appropriate to the play's emphasis on sight and the technology of seeing, works especially well in the scenes with perspectives of grand interiors. Unfortunately, only those who are sitting smack in the middle of the theater get the full effect...
