| No — and having seen Swenson try and flex his serious actor muscles in A Moon for the Misbegotten opposite his wife, that’s a good thing. | |

| I disagree with this assessment. I found Swenson’s performance in “Moon” quite persuasive. It’s an exceedingly difficult part and Williamstown has a 10 day rehearsal period which makes it even more so. | |

| Most of Williamstown's rehearsal periods are actually more like three weeks (18 days). | |

| It’s an exceedingly difficult part and Williamstown has a 10 day rehearsal period which makes it even more so. All the more reason to cast an actor with the chops to play the part. Audra McDonald and Glynn Turman had no trouble creating detailed, fully inhabited performances. Swenson was not in their league by a long shot. |

| Well, I traveled from Pennsylvania to see this play and this cast. Glad I went, but frankly was disappointed | |
