Enjoyed 5/6/09 performance to 50% full St. James. Set was awesome, cast tried their best, "heat" of passion might melt ice... but "granite" don't think so. Two leads carried play, but agree that accents were difficult to pull out. 100 minutes sufficed, 190 minutes would seem to stretch even an O'Niell play. With a great dinner before and a nightcap after, total evening was worth going out into the rain after curtain!
