An
early, intense two - hander between Richardson and Martin instantly crystallizes the undercurrent of class tension that runs beneath the
civilized sniping; Gorman spends the opening act with the affect of a
man who's actually a pile of badgers in a trench coat, effortlessly angling the comedic bent into the darkness as the bodies pile up.
It presents, on the brink of civilization,
early modern
man, whose God - loving and fundamental lust for vengeance still drives today's
civilized man.»
