...entire action of the play is set in the room that serves as the site of the lovers' annual tryst. While their surroundings-furnishings, proprietor and all-remain unaltered during the play's 24-year time span, Doris and George can hardly boast the same luck.

The guide finds the Midwest to be a romantic wasteland, however, and Keown has special scorn for Iowa and Ohio.
