"Every production of Company I’ve seen Bobby is a cipher. Why would a 35-year-old man be concerned whether he should get married? A 35-year-old woman adds much needed complexity."
I'm surprised that you consider this a problem with the show as originally conceived and written, and I completely disagree. If Bobby has been a cipher in productions of COMPANY that you've seen, I think that's an entirely separate issue as to whether it's a story about a bachelor or a bachelorette being concerned -- and having his/her friends be concerned -- about whether or not s/he should get married. I think there are many reasons why a man as compared to a woman might be avoiding marriage -- some of those reasons exactly the same, some similar, some very different, depending partly on the era in which the action is set. But all interesting |
