| Thank you for your comments. I just needed to hear another opinion to make sure I was on the right track to understanding what Van Hove was getting at. I had the opportunity to see the 2015 Broadway revival but passed on it because it would have been too soon for me after having seen the 2010 one. However, I had heard great things about Van Hove's direction and wanted to check out the tour since it was pretty convenient for me to see it at the Goodman. The unreality of what I was seeing on stage struck me as odd -- it was almost surreal. I assume that the time frame of the story is late 40's/early 50's. There is no way a 17-year old girl like Catherine would wear an outfit like that on the streets or to her job, but I figure that Van Hove is taking us inside Eddie's mind. My partner, however, who was totally unfamiliar with the play, was pretty mystified but still engrossed by what he saw unfolding. Thanks again for taking the time to respond. |
