I'm really surprised at the reaction here.  Granted, I saw this in Boston last year (?) and while I liked it well enough, I could't shake the feeling that it thought it was more meaningful than what was exhibited.   I think it was at the Huntington.   

Certainly could be the direction and/or cast - and certainly don't know if there was any work done on the script.   

 

Good to hear it's being well rec'd - even if my experience wasn't.

Yes, I saw it in Boston as well. It was okay. Some mid-play dramatic developments seemed more convenient than organic, but given the new production, performers, time for rewrites, etc., it's obviously more than possible my misgivings might no longer be valid.

I really don’t know why the website continues to say the show is 105 minutes, and when I asked the usher tonight he said it was 100 mins. The show is two hours. Those 20 mins make a big difference if you have to be somewhere after.

(Loved the show, just had to rush getting out.)

Thanks for saying this. It makes a huge differenxe for people who have to travel in and out of the city! Also, I’m fighting a brain tumor and the treatment makes me need the bathroom quite a bit and those 20 minutes can make a big difference and it helps to know how much longer I have to wait. Lots of reasons this info should be accurately given…

Unfortunately, this is very common these days.

I certainly liked this, but I wasn’t blown away. The parallels and ties to The Crucible are interesting and well-explored. The performances are solid. It just all seemed a little "flat" to me for lack of a better word.
