Richard Nelson's latest has a cast of 18 and almost as many ideas and subplots going on. Maybe it would have worked if the show was nine hours rather than two and a half? My review's here.

Unfortunately it is mediocre play, too ambitious for presenting some historical facts while others are twisted and inaccurate. The historical drama without real drama, chit chat, too often boring and, most likely incomprehensible for younger generation. Good acting but too long and cuts should be absolutely necessary

Why all the French stuff? I am, indeed, from France, and have been living in America for over 25 years.

Well that is pretty much what I said in my review!
