...first act, thus making the ensuing two acts dependent upon the customary dramatic devices such as inexplicable flashes of lightning and a series of unexpected entrances. The most interesting thing about the play is the child Peter and we're afraid that further information on that score can be gained only by actual attendance at the gory proceedings.
