Sloan, who also appeared in "The Ruling Class" and "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui," adds that Eva is not afraid of using any and everyone to get what she wants. "I think that's the point of the play--we're all using one another so we can't point the finger at anyone. I don't think that's anyone's life motto.
