Short Version: this cast takes on a weird, sad, and esoteric script that at times invokes an almost 1950’s “old money” aesthetic, as well as a vision of the Underworld that would make Homer proud.
The overarching theme is romantic love and familial relationships. In this rendering, there is also an emphasis on the importance of language, learning and memory.
Complementing the action on stage without distracting is an ethereal set designed by Melissa Bennett and brought to life by Scenic Artisan Samantha Reno. The set is both grand and minimal at the same time which is a feat within itself.
