| I hear that - and it helps that I've sat in the Olivier a number of times, so I can bring that awareness with me - but I would say that my view of work there has as much to do with very specific stagecraft possibilities because of the stage deck and the grid as it does with the audience's relationship to the stage. And I think that stagecraft is still very impactful when broadcast. For another example, I found that the "Frankenstein" (which I thought was the National at its worst) managed to convey reasonably well what it might have felt like to be in the theater watching the show (though it helped that a commenter here mentioned feeling the heat of the lights, so I was able to imagine that sensation when I watched the twenty or so minutes of gorgeous, mindless spectacle and long-form theater improv that was passing as a play). |
