"The first decapitation gets a laugh. So do the cast's open mouths, frozen while speaking about something upsetting. The shadow puppets are hits. Just as I was thinking that an Off Broadway stage was the wrong place for this sort of thing, a slow-flash strobe began, giving the characters the appearance of flight or at least levitation. Take that, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
