| I thought the writing was pretty weak. Any chance to see Rylance is a treat though, and as you say, he is terrific. I wasn't crazy about the counter tenor's singing. Didn't care for that particular timbre which from what I've read is quite a bit different from the sound of a castrato. I wish they had cast a gorgeous sounding soprano. I just didn't believe that the singing of Davies, except maybe for that last song which was lovely, would transfix the king in the way the play depicts. |
