Reviews
♦ O’Neill, McDonnell, and Pietz prove a strong trio in illustrating Eddie’s lust for Catherine, Catherine’s emerging sense of womanhood, and Beatrice’s delicate dance between her love for husband and her maternal feelings for Catherine. The most effective scenes are back-to-back scenes in act 1 between Beatrice and Catherine when Beatrice is forced to tell Catherine: “Do you think I’m jealous?” and between Eddie and Alfleri when he seeks advice about Rodolpho being “not right.” Both convey each character’s frustration in accepting and understanding Catherine’s relationship with Rodolpho. – Stephen Marino
