| To be sure, my personal affection for the Prince staing plays a part in me not accepting that it might no longer be used. But I also think it's not been laid out very clearly by Mackintosh. I just read an article that was posted above and when Mackintosh says things like "How you create theatre, even though it might look the same, is very different from what it was 34 years ago…We’ve learned to do things in different ways" and "I think the main bulk of “changes” are modernising the production", that to me does not say the Prince production is being discarded altogether. I also looked up a few reviews from the Leicester Curve production which is said to have been a tryout for this new version, and the production photogrpahs that accompany the reviews at least LOOK like the Prince staging. The official website that goes along with this tour bills it as "the brilliant original on tour". But then Mackintosh also says there is a new chandelier and a horse element that Bjornson had imaigined but didn't make its way into the original. I am guessing it will look a lot like the Prince staging but with some tweaks. Which to me seems like a different thing than the US Tour that has totally new direction, and that some have said they hope will not be what opens in London. |
