Civil War play soaked in metaphor and irritants by Howard Shapiro

It was a dark and stormy night. No, really. So dark and so stormy in the play The Whipping Man, or maybe just in Arden Theatre Company's production of it, that The Constant Metaphor blasts you from the first crash of thunder to the last flash of lightning, when mist and fog are rolling in through a door and rain pours through the show's sound design.
