| Having been born 74 years ago, and I am a rabid playgoer I might agree with my fellow theatergoers, but the only play that stunned me to sit in my seat after the show ended was journeys end. The play ends with one of the characters Raleigh dying, but the other characters march off to war with the audience, knowing that they would probably never return. World War I was such a senseless war. I couldn’t move out of my seat for quite a number of minutes crying. The production was brilliant, but I can’t understand why it was not successful. The other play that gripped me to death was the inheritance. I saw it first in London, and went all the men came down the aisle I wept. The production was also memorable, because Vanessa Redgrave was in it, and I was sitting in the first row center, and when she came out for her curtain call and she was 3 feet away from me, and I blew her a kiss, and she blew a kiss back to me. … what a great memory. |
