	Straightlaced Approach to Shaw's Leisure Class Satire - October 12, 2006 - The New York Sun
		Hesione and her dashing husband Hector (Byron Jennings) have settled into a nimble marriage of convenience, one that allows Hector to court the rosy-cheeked ingenue Ellie Dunn (Lily Rabe) while Hesione woos Ellie's stalwart father, Mazzini (John Christopher Jones).
		Hesione's motives are chaste: The seduction is part of a scheme to break off Ellie's engagement to Boss Mangan (an enjoyably low Bill Camp), the gauche industrialist who has bankrolled Mazzini's failed business.
		It's no wonder Hesione's sister, Ariadne (Laila Robins, who gets more mileage than usual out of her icy elegance), got out of this house at her earliest convenience; she has returned after 23 years, and the shifting romantic currents inevitably sweep her up, too.

		Swoosie Kurtz is almost perfection as Hesione Hushabye save for her questionable, constant swaggering that makes her characterization slightly too contemporary for this classic.
