Directors now like to hit us over the head banging home the relevance of a revival. Last summer JULIUS CEASAR, for example. The director didn't trust the audience to draw its own parallels to contemporary America, and now CABARET plans to do the same.
When Arthur Miller wrote THE CRUCIBLE, he trusted the audience to make the proper connections. In it's latest revival, Ivo Van Hove did not. |
