Finally, it would be a disservice to the play to omit mention of the various other experimental devices or odd techniques. These range from the set pregnant with meaning (the plain soil of a garden; the sexually suggestive rope of a swing) to the rather obtrusive lighting (a programmed sequence of flashes as Dora polishes a plate). The sun seems to rise and set in the same place, or never to set; a moon figures prominently as well. Singing crops up now and again unexpectedly. Sound effects--a car starting, space-aged boings--provide a sort...
Really? Dismay over movies and TV at a time when "virgin" couldn't be uttered in a film and Lucy and Ricky couldn't say "pregnant" to describe her condition?

...think it's the smell of the bodies at the crime scene that makes Marge puke, you're wrong. It's morning sickness. Marge may look as innocent as the child inside her and she probably is. But she's also tough and smart. She's a pregnant version of Philip Marlowe but with more charisma. With acute intuition Marge quickly traces Jerry to Carl and Gaear. More tenacious than the average pit bull, it is only matter of time before Marge has them behind bars...
