| You may be right. However, my take-away from reading that sentence is that Green sensed the actors, at times, but not continuously, and not to the detriment of the production as a whole, regressed, perhaps due to personal emotions regarding the thematic elements, to proseltyzing rather than allowing the characters being portrayed elucidate those elements. In other words, they wanted to make sure that the audience was "getting it". I don't know as I have yet to see the play but, if my interpretation of the sentence is correct, I think it is a valid critical observation by Green and one with which I may or not agree once I have. Actually, this is one of reasons I , in the past, made it a point not to read reviews of theatre I had every intention of seeing. Reading them afterwards is always much more fun. |
