I really enjoyed the Andy Warhol Diaries docuseries on Netflix. That said, the series, which used Warhol's actual diary entries as the main narration, left me with the impression that Warhol was not a great wordsmith. And, it appears, likely suffered from some type of mental illness that made him obsessive about certain people, preoccupations or themes. Obsessions are rarely fascinating to anyone but the person experiencing them, so I guess I'm not entirely surprised that tedium may be something experienced in a play about Warhol & Basquiat. Those qualities certainly made certain parts of the series sag.
In *some* ways, perhaps the Warhol persona was more fascinating than the man himself. But, I still appreciated the facets of his personality and family history that the docuseries showcased. I imagine accomplishing the same in a play would be a lot more challenging. |
