I found it to be long and trying...Williams is such a proficient and allegorical playwright, that it felt as if I were in English class rather than at the theatre. Too many metaphors to take in - it gave me a headache.
However, the acting overall was superb. Fields was extraordinary throughout, though I wasn't wild about her overly abrubt transition into "crazy-woman"...almost entirely throughout she's this sensible almost constricted woman and then, all of a sudden, over something so miniscule, she explodes...there wasn't enough build up...it felt overdramatic. But, the male lead (Tom, played by John Harner I believe) was brilliant.
