| The play's construction is the Arkadina-Konstantin parent-child trajectory, obviously with many other elements woven into its rich tapestry. But in every staging, in strict storytelling terms, that must find its place downstage center for the overall arc to be clear. It seems that perhaps too little attention has been given to that aspect? Just a guess. My favorite scene is always the head bandaging moment; when played well, it's heartbreaking and bleakly funny at the same time. |
