"The director Jeff Clarke and his clever designer Gabriella Csanyi-Wills managed to retain much of the spirit and feel of the 18th century while incorporating elements of the 1950s. Yet it was Clarke’s reflection of the Jungian slant of Auden’s libretto that brought such a strong psychological truth to this production."
