I'm sure the actors and the music made the story easier to follow than just reading it alone. But then again, reading the novella is probably a prerequisite for viewing such a performance. Again, I wish I could've been there. You saw something quite special and I'm glad that you did. :-)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352555023213707212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3220677662444792229.post-54650628121624921802007-07-21T18:10:00.000-04:002007-07-21T18:10:00.000-04:00Lin, once again, thanks for this post.

You needed to pay attention to get the story. The second act had more dialogue to spell things out. <BR/><BR/>Think of this performance as the equivalant to a rough draft of a written piece. There was no props, wardrobe etc... like you would have expected. My wife and I were just as much entertained by the story regardless. We were expecting a proper play but went away being more interested in the workshop process of performing the piece as a standalone piece.<BR/><BR/>I was next to some elderly people who were enjoying the show but I think dialogue would have helped them more in the first act to spell some of the roles and themes out to them. <BR/><BR/>The music was rock and roll and performed by professional players, two guitarists who were great and a bassist who was also great. The drummer filled the little theater with powerful drumming and the keyboardist acted as conducter and musical director as well. His image was projected upstairs behind me on two huge screens to conduct the players throughout.<BR/><BR/>The theater only held roughly 375 people, it was nice and cozy.<BR/><BR/>Fizwho kept up tradition and scammed a front row seat for the second act :) <BR/><BR/>14 July 2007 15:11 <BR/><BR/></I>PDBThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494257969605317306noreply@blogger.com
