Dare I admit that I actually teared up a bit when the grizzled old guy gave what appeared to be one of his last remaining “magical” processions to the girl? I’m probably misinterpreting or not looking deep enough or something, but on an involuntary level, the piece was very powerful.

My “gauge” for whether I consider a piece to be well done is taken from a Wallace Shawn quote, namely, “I’m not interested in a production unless it touches me”.

This one touched me.
