7 / 10
O’Rowe’s adaptation is sharp and clarifying. He cuts down some of Ibsen’s verbiage but it never sounds overly contemporary. He shaves away some of the one-the-nose-ness and excess from Ibsen. He lets the actors and performances fill in where Ibsen might explain.

Mark O’Rowe does fine work, honoring the author’s intent while subtly framing the words in contemporary vernacular. Jack O’Brien helms the entire production with tremendous economy and restraint. With the exception of Japhy Weideman’s gorgeous blue-hued, rain-soaked lighting, this is not a technically showy production. The creative team wisely focused their collaborative efforts on the powerful text.
