Review: 

Well-intentioned, occasionally lively mounting ultimately thwarted by an uneven cast and the schematic nature of the play itself. After 3 ½ hours that feel like four, we need the poignance of Winter's Tale or the burlesque joy of Midsummer Night's Dream and not just a pleasantly happy ending.

Best touch: the comic villain's fabricated horse, which rides up and down the aisles and even swishes its tail.
