By Walter Kerr 29 April 1979

Here, however director William Devane working with designer Peter Larkin have created a giant curve of scorched earth that looks like a watermelon rind after a fork has got through rutting it, and the actors are at once forced to trample all over it, looking for places to go, places to sit.

The corrugated effect has been achieved by rubberizing the ridges so that they will give readily beneath restlessly moving boots... in this case it also bounces right back again the minute a heel has left it, creating the impression that the war is being fought on a trampoline.
