| Green writes, "the use of three actors to cover the entire ensemble (the original cast numbered 27) has you trying to sort out who’s who." I'd suggest giving them all sweatshirts with their function ("producer," "first wife" etc.) on them. Oh, it's been done? Never mind! |

| With so few actors playing so many roles, that would mean a lot of sweatshirts coming on and off. Perhaps a better solution would be Velcro labels that could be ripped off and put back on as necessary. | |

| But - the problem is the same with the standard performing edition now, with a smaller cast than the original. Many of the smaller ensemble characters are not given enough specific time to be defined all that much from scene to scene (some are easier to figure out than others), resulting in a sort of generic "blob" of ensemble throughout the show. That's the way the show has always been, IMO. And in fact, I feel that in the standard version, the ensemble members all having actual names that don't really correspond to anything much (Scotty, Ru, Dory, etc) tend to just make it a bit harder. You simply don't remember who most of them actually are. |
