"In a play that has been performed for more than a century, much of its novelty comes from the blocking, set design, lighting, and sound. UW Drama used the physical space of the theater very effectively, with characters entering and exiting from not only the stage, but from the stairs and doors in the audience, too. The actors often stood within reach of the front row of seats, their facial expressions raw and visible. This, paired with the sound and lighting, made for a deeply immersive experience."
