Katie Mitchell - director or destroyer?

\guardian.co.uk: "Every new production brings with it a version of the same debate: is she a true theatrical visionary or is her style one that is hostile to both audience and text? While her supporters champion her 'extensive research and a methodical rehearsal process', her critics accuse her of a 'willful disregard of playwrights' intentions' or, as Charles Spencer termed it in his review of Women Of Troy, 'smashing up the classics.' The language used by those who question her directorial style often tends to such extremes; texts are 'brutally cut' and 'roughed up', leaving one with an image of a malevolent figure standing over a copy of Euripides gleefully wielding a pair of scissors."
