...Overall though, Women Beware Women is an accomplishment for all involved. While the non-stop melodrama and treachery seem a bit over the top at times, it is tastefully done. The cast does an excellent job in giving life to the complex language of the work, while the orchestration of the final scene cleverly draws attention to a number of events that seem to be unfolding onstage simultaneously...
