...thin script. Hamlin's actors move in sumptuous surroundings, designed by Donald Soule. The living room set is appropriately busy and garish, and the bedroom scene is almost worth the price of the ticket with its popsicle pink decor. Lewis Smith's excellent and correctly over-styled costumes complement the sets well...
