hoot and a hit. But most critics that I saw on opening night were
sitting in an uncomfortable place, trapped between the naive enjoyment
of young audience members around them and their own aesthetic dismay at
the liberties the producer was taking with a work that defines a world
power at a seminal moment in history.
