“It's a point that the director and lighting designer Alan Brodie make very nicely at the end of the second act as Judith and her offspring segue seamlessly from their overblown dispute about a party game into lines from one of her old plays. As the generalized glow gradually turns to the stagey side lighting and giant shadows of Victorian melodrama, there's double delight to be had in the theatrical tricks of the Bliss family on the one hand and of the Shaw family on the other.”
