...lovers' superficial attempts to compartmentalize their existence in this way never quite succeed. Their "real life" enters the room with them, distilled partly into tidy stories and photographs, glowering on the masks they spend the scene shedding.

The opportunist son-in-law (Don Guiney) is portrayed as too much of an arch-villain, overly conspiratorial, first with one side and then the other, weilding his cane about like a swagger stick. The pity that Strindberg felt for such a pathetic victim...
