Query: Dull and unimaginative

I found this performance lacking in many things but above all energy. This production clearly had severe budgetary constraints, but part of the magic of theater is the extent to which an imaginative director and an energized cast can overcome limits of production. That didn't happen here. While the individual cast members were splendid, the production as a whole never came together.
