...performers all handle the roles quite well, which is a good thing because Wycherly's play has a tendency to drag in spots. James Horan gives a truly libidinous performance as the satyriacal, cynical Horner. Horan captures the selfish sexuality of Horner almost perfectly, though after a while the sight of him cramming his tongue down the ladies' throats is a bit much.

We wait. But ha, ha, fooled you"! Violet pops up and scolds them selfish for not coming to her earlier. Shields' is a face that when it communicates anything says "me, me, me." But most of the time it doesn't even say that much; it rests apparently self-satisfied and oblivious to the implications of her environment. Disappointingly, this lack of depth also undermines...
