Went for the theme of 'distorted views'. The warped and broken mirrors represent the way the characters have a distorted view of themselves.
Kath sees herself as an irresistible femme fatale, when infact she is a middle aged, slightly haggard woman.
Ed, in his own eyes, is a suave and sophisticated businessman; in reality he is probably a dodgy used car salesman-type, flogging dodgy goods, attempting to hide his homosexuality.
Sloane is, despite what he thinks, by no means an indestructible puppeteer, manipulating everyone around him.
And Kemp is definitely an old man, but has a courageous side that is
not appreciated by the people around him.
So yeah, Entertaining Mr.Sloane. 1964. Who doesn't love a play where it ends with the siblings sharing their lover, 6 months at a time...
