It’s about human corruptibility, and the constant friction between commerce and art - a classic, enduring story of rent vs. artistic principles.
It’s a set, technical, and costume designer’s dream, with falling paper flowers, offstage fights, illuminated moons, and actors dressed sometimes as cavaliers and sometimes as dogs.
