I'm curious if you've seen Jefferson Mays in other shows, and if so, whether you liked him in those shows. I personally enjoy his work, but he has a certain sensibility and may not click with everyone.
I haven't seen Christmas Carol, but I have to say I'm not a fan of the "arty" camera shot when it comes to theater streaming. Part of what I like about theater is that I can look at what I want to look at, rather than having some auteur perspective thrust upon me by whoever is wielding the camera. A filmed performance means framing decisions, but sometimes, the director goes for "look at my direction" shots rather than "look at the performer" shots, if you know what I mean. |
