Description |
"Fractal's trio of Gothic playlets... a white-clad woman lies imprisoned in a vast iron bed. The Gothic motif of live burial, or psychic imprisonment, links the program thematically... The Fall of the House of Usher, the doomed brother and sister in their decomposing mansion are mesmeric in their studied insanity." |
