The twist at the end of this one was somewhat satisfying, however I found the rest of the play distasteful. It seems to have been conceived as a story about the infidelity of men (The father's, as well as the implied infidelity of Barbara's ex-husband) and that Anton was a metaphor for the father's past indiscretion finally coming home to roost and damage his family. But the actual plotline of a rapist holding a houseful of women hostage with this magical power was just offensive---not to mention inaccurate. There is nothing in Greek mythology endowing satyrs with such a death-wishing power. It was obviously something invented by Ian Martin to keep all the other characters at this guy's mercy. Weak. Really weak. Also, I thought that Barbara's dialog was written in an idiom that was ridiculously anachronistic---even if she was a "modern" experienced woman, she still sounded far too modern for the Victorian age. I mean, come on..."Cushy?" "Ralph-the raper?" Badly written. Big thumbs down on this one.
