Martha Henry has directed an exquisite production. It is as delicate as a spider web and as fraught with danger. The revelations of how deep the betrayals and deceit go grips you more and more tightly.Special mention must be made of Todd Charlton who created the sound for this production, from finding just the right combination of birdsong that perfectly creates an idyllic backyard, to the haunting voice of Nina Simone singing “Lilac Wine”, which says everything about the atmosphere and the deep feelings of the characters. Mr. Charlton created the worlds of the plays for which he designed the sound, by finding the perfect sounds for those worlds.
Mr. Charlton died suddenly in April. His loss to the theatre is crushing.
