I agree with the reviewer for the refuge plays
"the result is provocative, but messy and while the three acts interlock, they don't propel each other forward".
The same technique is used as in merrily we roll along, and as I mentioned, once I saw The London recent production, and it was not completely satisfying. I don't think it would be allowed, but I certainly would like to see merrily done once in the opposite direction.
Seeing the ebullient characters at first, turning into sadder versions of themselves might bring a new perspective. I fully realize that many theatergoers my find is present form, appealing and yes, I do intend to see this new production, and I am sure the cast will be great.. |
