British Playwright Nichols' twist is that almost before the affair begins, the triangle becomes a pentangle. James and Eleanor have alter egos, played by Frank Langella and E. Katherine Kerr. These are id-like private selves who ironically, amusingly and sometimes heartrendingly blurt out and unmask the hypocrisies, fears, desires and fantasies the public selves are hiding.
