...tragically affecting figure who is foiled not by a lack of ambition but by a lack of brain power. Anderson and Philip Weiss (who plays Phil Romano) provide some of the play's most gripping moments in a scene where George, learning of his wife's infidelity, threatens to shoot Phil.

...hall, opposite Caldwell, trying for a final shot. She has stopped conducting and is listening to the singers. She gazes around the hall till her eyes meet Rick's and rest in a lethargic stare. He is frozen like a squirrel near a human but he doesn't shoot. He is waiting for her to perform again. After five minutes he gives up and walks out--he can't be late for his next assignment...
