"Perhaps this is needless to say but telling about offstage events rather than showing them goes back to the earliest plays we have and we can find examples in many (probably most) of the greatest plays ever written."
Of course, but I have seen several people express the opinion that there is "more telling that showing" in HAMILTON, and I just wanted to say I don't think that's fully accurate, even though there's obviously a certain amount of truth to the statement. But also, to the extent that it's true, I don't see it as a flaw in the writing -- certainly not for this kind of new-age historical epic. |
