It all sounds like an ultra-tacky 1970s Bette Davis shriek-fest, and indeed, one of these women is Davis herself, incarnated by Carol Kane, effective despite her wrecked voice, which renders half her lines incomprehensible. But even Lucas can't build a cheesy thriller into a meditation on art and truth, no matter how historic—or histrionic—its heroine. Pam MacKinnon, directing, manages to keep the play's opposing sides from collapsing in on each other; Mickey Sumner is plausible as Kane's implausible antagonist. But it's a bumpy night.
