“It’s a complex, engaging and stimulating work, enhanced by a first-class production and a superb cast. The play’s only flaw is its sheer scope: The authors are so scrupulous about including as much context exploring the characters’ histories, as well as the turbulent social and political issues surrounding the production, that they cannot always keep the focus from blurring.
But if the canvas is broad, it is painted in colors both subtle and rich, and the play is even infused with moments of humor.
…the beauty and truth of Mr. Pang’s performance shine forth with such intensity that any flaws in the writing are easily overlooked.”
