 “Rodula Gaitanou’s delightful production transposes the action to “Prague, Oklahoma” in the mid-Fifties, a society whose patriarchal values uncannily reflect those of oldtime Bohemia. And just as the activities of bride-bartering and marriage-broking seem as appallingly relevant as ever in the modern era, so Smetana’s buoyant folksiness morphs seamlessly into the foot-tapping breeziness of the chorus line or Presley-style crooning." Barry Millington
