If you should be remotely interested: I don't think that Lepage's production is anywhere near as bad as many critics have said. It has some marvelous moments. Alas, I don't feel it was fully utilized on its first run and neither did Lepage seem to know what to do with his performers. Its as if he was more interested at times with what the machine could do than how it should support the cast. This could be rectified with more imaginative stage direction, but time will tell. Oh, and the horse really has to go.
