| Description |
[…] The play begins in Duke Frederick's sombre and authoritarian c5ourt, his courtiers emerging en masse from the council chambers and city streets power-dressed, like businessmen clones, in dark suits and purple ties. Hordes of reporters, in trench coats and fedora hats, mill to get the latest news. Urban brutality rules. […] The ending is magical, as the audience moves to watch the recently married couples sail on the lagoon to the strains of music from a choir. |
