| Thanks for that information, Liam. I too was not thrilled by the set because it looked like nothing I rmembered from the late 60's at least in interior design. It looked to me like at least ten years later than 1968. I am not an authority however and will accede to your judgment. I do agree that Zachary Quinto is wonderful in the role of Harold and had me too believing he was ugly. Perhaps more properly he had me convinced that he viewed himself as ugly particularly when compared to someone like Donald (or his gift Cowboy) I do think that Andrew Rannels may not have as much character as some of the others but he impressed me a good deal especially in his passionate speech toward the end of the "game." I never felt so much empathy for Larry before and understood so much what Hank feels for him. If Robin deJesus was not quite Cliff Gorman he was successfully carving out his own character and shall be iconic within a few more performances.The main thing I did not like in this production was the cuts in text and intermission. Oddly enough without a break, the play seemed to me longer and I felt it did not give Michael enough time to make his transition from "on the wagon" to "vicious drunk." Overall though it is a top notch job from a first rate cast. |
