| I agree. When I saw it in Circle in the Square, my first thought was that Judd engineered his death. |

| Judd not only put the gun in Curly's hand but he cocked the trigger after saying "You know what to do." Curly was passive in this exchange of the wedding gift. Curly shot without raising his arm as one might expect in a killing. But I also believe Daniel Fish was going for ambiguity rather than psychology, a collision of images and styles that would lead the audience to consider the musical differently than they might have in a conventional staging. Hence, everyone goes right on to sing a happy song, including Judd who rises from the stage floor. Fish leaves many moments unresolved. |
