I'm glad someone probably got to enjoy the second act from your vacant seat. De gustibus non est disputandum and all that, but I loved the NT filmed version and can't wait to see it live. Love the novel--and I think they did a creative and intelligent job in finding stage analogues for some of the book's narrative strategies. To say Christopher and his parents are uninteresting seems more a reflection on the audience member to me. REALLY...! (I assume that is followed with a well-rehearsed toss of the head, with mane carefully coiffured to drop in a studied, if stultifyingly dull way. Why can't we have plays with real quality, like "Dear Ruth" and "Mary, Mary," anymore!
