This work is certainly never dull. However it never provides a new idea or thought ... nor does it leave us feeling that we have experienced a new work, but only a second-rate version of something we have known for eons.
I have been looking forward to seeing this play, only the second edition I have ever seen on stage, and my hopes and prayers have been answered, for this is a definitive production of a masterpiece that has long taken a third place position in the canon of the playwright's works.
