Another problem is the direct address narration by Elena (Dolya Gavanski), who identifies herself as "a transsexual Ukranian Christian Marxist cocktail pianist." Gavanski is the only actor miked, and tends to hover near the grand piano perched on a small platform accessible by a winding staircase. (The set is strikingly designed by Anthony Macilwaine.) It's never quite clear what function she serves other than to provide some exposition every now and then, as well as make some cryptic remarks.
