I had a feeling you were. ;)
As originally written, and as playing by Ann Morrison, she wasn't at all that kind of grating or broad, and not even what I'd call "a lot"... in fact not only did I like Mary in the scene, but I related to her and found her an acerbic, funny, maybe bitchy in a way but right, voice of reason in the scene... which grounded the "buying your own hype" feel of the others in the original scene/song. She was bitter and over-it, but not in a grating way, not in a way that made us hate the only reasonable person with perspective in the beginning of the show. |
