Reviews & Features
“Director James Lapine has come up with the concept of including a young Goneril , Regan and Cordelia... They carefully fill in the outlines of a map from bottles of colored sand. It's a pretty picture of sisters at play, even though it's obvious that their sandy map, like their country and family, will be destroyed. That opening image serves as a novel and powerful scene setter and prompts questions about how loving and lovable children can turn into monsters as the grown Goneril and Regan do.”
