More satisfactory elements of understated humor are provided by the characters of a lower-class waiter (Constantine Costes) and his lawyer son Bohun (Jon King). Assisted by good scriptwriting, they don't force humor, letting it come more naturally. And while she acts a bit juvenile at first, the author, Mrs. Clandon reaches dramatic equilibrium very quickly, playing her role with a convincing, concerned sternness. The romance between Valentine (Chris Duffy) and Gloria (Katherina Urso) is pat, and although Valentine is just one step beyond in some scenes, they manage to pull off a believable enough love affair...

With these problems, though, this is a play worth seeing, if only to laugh out loud and be reminded that most people like Prudence, Bob, Bruce and Durang, wavering between farce and drama, don't know what they want...
...incredible yet believable religious zeal which Roberts gives his character. Truly, he is what Kubrick had in mind in Dr. Strangelove with the solemn declaration "You'll have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company." He permits no distractions, such a sexy secretary (Greta Scacchi) or a revolutionary waiter, to block his quest for constant innovation He does however make time for children, old ladies, and animals in distress, which shows that underneath his corporate exterior exists something more human...
