...Rita E. Hauser, Vice President American Jewish Committee New York City

Edmunds has placed the Countess's bedroom, the courtroom, and the other havens of aristocracy underneath a patently fake proscenium, upstage; in the wings, stretching around the audience are the kitchens, dressing rooms and lofts of the servants; and most...
