approach to the acting, which the actors have embraced with great enthusiasm.
For example, when the lovers quarrel in the woods, they actually physically
tangle. We are also taking a theatrical approach to the staging – scene changes
take place in front of the audience and actors address the audience directly.
The goal is to pull the audience viscerally into the experience of the play.”</span><span style="color:black;font-family:Cambria,serif;font-size:12pt;line-height:115%"><br></span></div></div>
