Barbara Marten and Hannah Boyde brilliantly mastered to build up the tension, although faced with a incredibly
long dialogue, introducing the background story as employees, while the rest of the characters sit around the stage
waiting.
Clive Mendus as brother of the dead professor got the most signifient lines and proved to be the central figure
summing up his family plight of a rootless family.
