What I liked

Beautifully done. The movement is a nice touch.

What I didn't like

There is a genealogical error in the program. Hector is Hecuba and Priam’s son. Andromache is his wife. The program has this flipped. The reason this matters is Hecuba relates differently to her daughters in law than she does to her daughters.

My overall impression

This is a thoughtfully and effectively staged and deeply moving production. Olivia Buntaine is a director to watch. The cast delivers solid performances, especially Kay Capasso as Eris. The modern yet classic production and costume design have a timeless feel with a dustbowl palette. I look forward to seeing more from Project Nongenue in the future.
