What kind of man is Peter? He seems like a quiet, professional, family man. He seems to be the embodiment of the American dream headed for success. But this is only on the surface, because this story deals with the repression that society forces on men. The actor must have the playfulness potential within him to give into his primal instincts when cornered, and in the end, explode, which brings about the shocking ending.
