Review by peanutduck
Purpose of page-to-stage translation if nothing new is explored, illuminated? Director/playwright’s intentions paradoxical. Characters underdeveloped (Mrs. Bennet - demonic marionette); cross-casting sisters Mary and Kitty, nonsensical; elevator distracting. Lovers’ chemistry absent; and, until third act, most actors uncomfortable with text. Exquisite moment: Second dance where movement, dialogue play against musical narration.
