Regarding your last paragraph, just to make sure there is no confusion, I don't think there is any ambiguity about Fish charting a course that's not beholden to anyone else's previous intentions. One can love or hate any or all of the updates, but they are not unintentional or accidentally effected.
I agree the production is not a reaction to Tangerine Man, but I think it does reflect a state of mind that's quite evolved from that of a century earlier, when it is set, or WWII, when it was written. |
