...Though some of the actors are sharper than others, the fluidity of the ensemble cast together enlivens the bare text of the play. Gorky allows the director a lot of leeway with respect to who talks to whom when six or seven characters are on stage. This production takes full advantage by creating eddies of conversation that alternately split and combine based on the context, adding texture to what would otherwise be a dry series of declamations...
