The production at the American Repertory Theater in Boston, which is pre-Broadway. This is the London staging but with a different cast.

Saw this at the ART on opening night. The physical production is astonishing. The script is okay, but perhaps too much on the nose and with a clumsy framing device. Biggest problem is that the performers are, by and large, only adequate, with a tendency to declaim line after line with the same affects. Right now, they don't give the play the extra shot it needs to make it memorable for something more than  technically remarkable staging.
