I totally agree with your interpretation of Heche's Catherine as legitimately posing the possibility that she is mentally ill. For me, it raised the stakes of the entire play to a thrilling high. She brought a sense of danger to the role without being as confrontational as Parker or depressive as Paltrow. And I'd say this quality was present from the very moment that lights came up: the way her Catherine laid on the stage while napping was so...I don't know...slovenly?...it first elicited laughter from the audience...before an uncomfortable silence set in.
While I agree that Harris fit right into the ensemble, I found his Hal underwhelming. The romance played nicely, but I didn't feel a sense of urgency to make something of his career, as I did with the fantastic Shenkman and Kunken.
How was Seana Kofed opposite Leigh? I remember watching her play Rhoda to Heche's Mary on "Men in Trees" and feeling amused that they had been two ships passing on the porch of the Walter Kerr. I always wondered if they compared notes about their experiences. |
