Stage Review: The Rep's 'La Ronde' proves a bit too tame

Post Gazette: "Some plays can be more interesting for their shocking past than their diminished present.
Such is 'La Ronde,' a darkly comic dramatization of erotic serial encounters in 1900 Vienna by Arthur Schnitzler (1862-1931). It's a daisy chain of seduction in which a Prostitute sleeps with a Soldier, who then sleeps with a Housemaid, who sleeps with a Young Gentleman, and so on, until in the 10th scene a dissolute Count completes the circle with the Prostitute.
