Notes
- Reviews
- Ben Brantley, New York Times (18 August 1995). Brantley writes `... snippets of APOCALYPSE NOW and PLATOON, clunky gladiator movies, a college debate forum, the Penthouse version of ‘Caligula’, something involving a mummy’s curse and a very stylized production of a Moliere play. And that’s only for starters...But at some point, disparate ingredients must be melded into a fluid style that lets the story tell itself. Here, you can’t see the play for the anachronistic clutter. (Why is Ulysses reading a Dianetics magazine? Is that a laptop computer Troilus has brought on stage with him for his penultimate scene? And what on earth is that motorized peacock?)'.
