Description
English director Sam Buntrock captures the miraculous alchemy of this Stephen Sondheim–James Lapine 1984 masterpiece: formal cool masking emotional heat. The visually stunning production uses digital animation to evoke elements of Georges Seurat’s magnificent painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande. Stars Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell are incisive and winning as George and his model-lover Dot. Best of all, the company proves adept at “putting it together” (per one of the more brilliant numbers): the first and time-tripping second act complement each other superbly. A sublime, ravishing homage to life, love and the transformative power of art.—DC
