The show starred Albee favorite Irene Worth (who had originated leading roles in his plays Tiny Alice and Listening) and veteran Earle Hyman alongside a youthful cast headed by Broadway debutante Frances Conroy alongside costars such as Maureen Anderman (who had appeared in Albee's 1975 play Seascape and the 1976 revival of his Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), which he also directed, Tony Musante and Celia Weston. Despite the play's short run, it won Featured Tony nominations for Miss Anderman and Mr. Hyman.

With all the blue Ethereal Sky,
And spangled Heav’ns, a Shining Frame,
Their great Original proclaim:
Th’ unwearied Sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator’s Pow’r display,
And publishes to every Land
The Work of an Almighty Hand.”
