Having looked at this very fine ensemble of actors in the video, I am left wondering if the original theater in London was very small - why is everything so boxed in? I have seen clips of the set boxes, but that's not what I mean. The build in the number suggests expansiveness of staging towards the end (didn't the original in 1970 use an elevator as a surprise and got the actors down onto the open stage for the final section?).
Also, why did they start so inert, like statues - and then why did they come alive when they did? Does a full stage picture from the audience make the motivations clearer?
Some of the choices seem unusual. |
