as a Catholic, I found Corpus a bit "offensive": (portrayal of Virgin Mary...)
but I am glad I saw it.
If only with the play were better and cohered better;
there were some stunning moments: the "possessed" scene, the "Our Father"
but it seemed like McNalley rushed with the final script and lifted pages directly from the Gospels in Act II
tho at some points, he expressed much sympathy, and personal insight into the story
I am also intrigued by other artist's take on the story-I just see Corpus as a missed opportunity and really not that good to get repeatedly produced as time continues
(remember the "apostle" who at the beginning said something like:
I am not the best looking guy here, but I can land a joke better than anybody
or something like that)
that was great |
