Good for him. The loyal Writers Theatre audience will, I think, appreciate that.
Such is the appeal of these timeless myths; they bend and morph according to where the watchers and listeners reside in life. That kinetic sense is embodied in Courtney O’Neill’s setting, a gorgeously sculptured design with a steeply raked set leading down, of course, although doing so in a way that implies the possibility of escape. Every visual moment here has been thought through and the pacing is quite exquisite.
The moment where Lord decides to let Eurydice go, and the “why” of that choice, wasn’t entirely clear to me at Friday’s opening and I think that Price and Hamilton have a much firmer handle on the ecstasy of their character’s relationship than the trauma of its eventual loss. That surely will deepen as this production progresses.
