I think that it's very hard to stage this without it being just one tall tale after another, and all distanced from our daily experience. One of the things I look for in a Mary Zimmerman show, especially, is some way of connecting the story on stage to my experience. This show largely lacked that and the insertion of modern gender politics was one of the few moments that I thought "yeah, I hear that."
