Outdoor Living: A Hurricane Diane Review
Under the direction of Zoë Golub-Sass, Hartford Stage presents Hurricane Diane, a play centering on a lust-filled demigod on a quest to flaunt her power, who descends on a cul-de-sac of unsuspecting New Jersey housewives. Consent is out the window, and coercion takes its place in the show of force that is Hurricane Diane. This depiction of the antics of the Greek god Dionysus is humor-filled but also burdened by a vulgarity that drowns the potential for a nuanced plot.
