“Roxana Haines’ modern-dress production maintains social distancing but more importantly keeps a firm grip on a narrative involving large dollops of disguise and deception that ends up establishing that all our emotional desires – not just women’s, as the title tendentiously suggests – are mutable.”

“Director Roxana Haines is working here under Covid-enforced constraints, but seeks to make the best of things by putting a contemporary theatrical twist on the story...we are invited to view this Così as a manipulative TV-style reality game show.”

“Haines has come up with a glorious solution to all these issues: presenting the story as a sort of heighten reality television game show.”
