Susan Isaacs Nisbett reviewed the production for AnnArbor.com, writing in part: “The idea behind this musical drama … is more cogently explained in the program notes than it is played out on stage, where it tends to drift without much purpose or revelation.” The full review: http://www.annarbor.com/entertainment/review-infernal-comedy/

An excerpt: The Rachmaninoff and Rimsky were remarkable in many other ways as well. The orchestra addressed the work’s tidal pulls and deep currents with dark velvet sound; Lugansky’s round tone was its perfect pianistic match; a slowish first-movement tempo only accentuated the rolling waves.
People Are Talking: Richard III & The Comedy of Errors:
Here’s a review of “The Comedy of Errors”: http://www.annarbor.com/entertainment/review-propellers-the-comedy-of-errors/
An excerpt: “Robert Hands’ portrayal of Adriana, wife of Antipholus of Ephesus (Sam Swainsbury), is spectacular. Like a force of nature, he haughtily stomps around the stage in heels and skin-tight leggings. Hands’ delivery and reactions are hilarious, but he also makes Adriana sympathetically vulnerable and endearing, so that in the play’s final moments, when the truth finally comes to light, Adriana’s embarrassment is both palpable and sweet.”
