Notes

Stills
"Designer P.K. Wish’s costumes give the production the look of 20th century Europe between the World Wars, but it is a world made slightly off-balance by surreal touches of costume colour and design. The women, for example, wear bizarre, asymmetrical, big-butt hoop skirts."
John Angell Grant, Berkeley Daily Planet (Monday July 10, 2000).
