...ENSUING DRAMA, which includes a hallucinatory hunt in a magical forest for a stag with golden horns and a giant, kite-like bear, is poetic drama. The images are so pure and bewitching that even a love scene between Angela and the puppet of an aged, decrepit man operated by three people is humourously touching...

These semiautobiographical characters proved unable by themselves to bear the weight of enormous events; meanwhile, the play's sweep had been diminished, and the tinkering, especially the search for jokes, had drained Clock of guts and vitality...
