...Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Presentedby Don Law Co. Sanders Theatre...

But Zambello goes further in her use of pop cultural references, particularly cinematic ones. The expressionistic sets recall Tod Browning's original 1931 film, Dracula (Bela Lugosi would have felt right at home at Ravenswood), while Martin Pakledinaz's costumes evoke David Lynch's sanguinary 1984 intergalactic flop, Dune.

"One grew in." Whatever her age, her maturity...
