★★★★½
"Williams throws the focus onto the text and characters, but that’s not to say his production doesn’t have its share of bold theatricality, thanks to composer Chris Williams’s songs, Alexander Berlage’s lighting and Elizabeth Gadsby’s design.
In the first act, the entire floor is covered in dark brown dirt, with a small glass conservatory at the back of the stage. In the second, the floor is covered with bright green grass.
And there’s a stunningly simple final image which ties together who these characters once were, who they are now, and who they might become."
