| Linked below is where I read that Sondheim said that Hearn is left-handed. I think you may be right that Sondheim simply misremembered. Also, now that I think about it I seem to recall Hearn in an interview somewhere talking about being right-handed and he humorously recalled that during rehearsals he asked Prince if he could use his right arm and Prince responded with a one-word answer that offered no further explanation, "No". In the Prince staging at the moment Sweeney utters that line he begins to exit stage-right so he's holding the razor up high with his downstage arm. I remember the stage going dark and the followspots tightly focusing on the razor and the razor sparkled and glistened like a mirror ball throughout the house. (On the Lansbury/Hearn video the moment is mostly lost because the lighting had been adjusted to much brighter levels for the taping in order to compensate for the then less sophisticated cameras that had trouble with low lighting.) |
