Here's Riedel's follow-up article after that very interesting Broadway.com interview (sorry it's the mobile version):

Posted: 4/11/13 at 1:02pmHow does the play compare to "The Other Place"? Also, is the play entirely a drama?

It is not at all comparable to The Other Place, I think, just because they're very different. I think it's more successful as a piece of drama, in terms of overall structure and focus. The Other Place, I felt, was essentially a one-woman show that happened to have an ensemble- not entirely to its benefit. I also found it cliche and a bit "movie of the week". I don't think it could stand on its own strength; it needs a fantastic actress like Laurie Metcalfe.
The Snow Geese is an ensemble play, though the focus is more on that younger son- it covers the effect of WWI on American lives at home, which isn't seen too much. It's definitely a drama.

Thanks everyone for sharing memories of that production of Hedda; I usually trust Parker's judgment in regards to picking projects and creating (or interpreting in this case) a character, but this sounds like a huge misfire on every level.
Thanks for the intel on The Snow Geese, Kad, I'm glad to hear that it is a successful work of drama from the page alone. Really looking forward to seeing this and to see who will join the cast!
