| Saw it in DC when it toured. Over the holidays late 1972. I remember being most fascinated by the make-up: it was applied in layers, so that the top could be removed for a quick change between two scenes, with another face below it. I read about that and couldn't imagine taking off one character without another coming off, too. Think Passionella in Apple Tree perhaps. The play was forgettable, and critics said so, but I always thought Zach's lines in Chorus Line about "directing my first play" were Bennett specific and referenced Twigs. I'm sure someone will correct me if I misremembered, but I if memory serves, we all said it at the time. |
