Notes
- General
- The staging is influenced by classic Jhatra performance styles and the music of India.
- Stills
- `Charles Neifeld’s cleverly constructed, two-level thrust stage - all set about with bamboo poles and tiny flags - comes complete with an inner stage for quick tableaux and Donyale Werle’s Mogul Empire-style forest and courtyard scene paintings. Costumer Keiko Shimosato ... provides a gorgeous array of robes, turbans, halters, dhotis, towering gilt headdresses and gowns in bright, multilayered colors’ [Robert Hurwitt, SFGate, 17 July 1995].

- Abridged by Joan Holden.
- Reviews
- Hurwitt, Robert, SF Gate, July 17, 1995. Hurwitt writes: ` ... it suffers from a conflict between style and content. The Indian performance techniques Chumley employs, which the cast has mastered to widely varying degrees of effectiveness, are principally nonverbal forms, in which gesture substitutes for dialogue’.
