I understand the writer's instinct. I really hate it when something on stage is supposed to be spontaneous and it isn't. I think I've mentioned before that it feels to me like the play is breaking its contract with the audience by pretending that something is unique to that performance when it isn't.
I've seen many things on stage where I am unclear about whether they are truly spontaneous or not. But in this case, it seems pretty clear that it essentially is unscripted. Cell phones go off all the time, so it's not that surprising that it has come up at several performances, and that, after doing the show for several weeks, Sturridge has found a way of responding to it that fits with the production. The author seems to think there is more to it than that, but there probably isn't. |
