What seems to have struck Collins-Hughes is that the ring came at a climactic moment in the "final seconds" (not the beginning as the OP says) and still Sturridge maintained his control...It probably wouldn't have had such an impact early in the monologue. While she was at it I wish Collins-Hughes had asked if an audience member always shouts it out when Sturridge "forgets" a word at one point. I know the forgetting is in the script but the help from the audience came so quickly when I saw it, as if the audience member knew it would be welcome.
For what it's worth we had a phone ring early on in Gyllenhall's piece, and I'm pretty sure he ignored it.
I'm curious that you find the illusion of spontaneity bothersome. To me it nearly defines the mystery of the theater. I wouldn't sign that contract. (If you're thinking of attending the upcoming Derren Brown show Secret on Broadway, don't.) |
