This version became a culmination of elements that seemed to work for past productions. The setting was World War I, and the concept was to take these beautiful waltzes and drag them through hell. We wanted the witches to have a definite supernatural quality. The actors would speak along with these echoes, creating a wonderfully ominous presence.
