...serious weapons and a portrait of the "hero." Scene changes occur lethargically, as the audience must unnecessarily wait in dark silence as it watches the characters move stealthily around on stage The sound effects--like the doorbell whose ring sounds like a lion's roar--are awkward and off synch, causing the actors as well as the audience to wait for them to conclude before continuing...

The rough edges that are an essential part of Ted and Joanna's break-up are masked inthe smooth flow...
