註釋

Intelligence, wit and repressed desire shimmer in this adaptation of The Pupil by Henry James, in which young Canadian Pemberton is hired to tutor the sickly genius Morgan, son of the aristocratic but impoverished Morrens who are more concerned with marrying off their daughter to a rich man than they are with scruples or paying their bills. Peopled by characters who either knowingly live a lie or else falsely believe themselves to be living the truth, the play's angles and configurations point to the deficiencies of the human spirit.
