"...Jessen's drama is not without glaring flaws. Most of the characters are women, but it's noteworthy that they are undeveloped and exist only in reference to their dead father. Still, the piece possesses an undercurrent of grief and anger, accurately portraying what happens when children irrationally take on the prejudices of one parent against the other. Scenes in which the family interacts with barely suppressed resentment and fury are dynamic and will seem familiar to anyone who's been exposed to parental estrangement. Director James Carey's staging occasionally crackles with anger and menace - and sequences involving David exude a mystery in which the ostensible protagonist becomes the tragic villain."
