“Tomaino’s movement direction is an essential key to the production’s dynamism… action flows with crispness and energy”

Julie Tomaino’s movement direction is an essential key to the production’s dynamism, which keeps the nearly three-hour run time from dragging. The action flows with crispness and energy: set pieces roll fluidly across the stage, and scenes transition as seamlessly as a precisely timed ballet. And the resulting stylized rhythm perfectly suits Hamill’s adaptation, which flirts with farce and satire without entirely abandoning Austen’s thematic and emotional core.
