Description
Charles R. Traeger's 1986 play sports a solidly suspenseful ending sequence, but the playwright takes so long getting there—and makes pit stops at so many laughable clichés along the way—that we've long since tired of the premise. The story of a couple's impending divorce is tarted up with laughable intimations of mental imbalance on the husband's part, plus lots of creepy dolls. The actors do their best with Traeger's overwritten, clunky exposition, and Mitch Golob's production is handsome enough. But Traeger's play is really 20 minutes of spooky following two hours of bad melodrama.—KVWhen
