All of the Michael goodness, none of the hundreds of dollars you would have needed to see it in person.

Thanks for the pics, Edith! Oh, no! Michael's character stabbed himself! I read that scene last night and, despite it being a comedic scene, I felt sad, reading the words...so sad and poetic. They seemed to have had a good time! I'm surprised that they had scripts in their hands, though; Ian's wife said they were experienced actors, so I was expecting that they'd know the lines pretty much by heart, already, and would only need to practice a bit, to remember them, (especially Michael, since he said that his favorite book to read was 'The Complete Works of Shakespeare') but I suppose they didn't have enough time to do that. It destroys the illusion of seeing a character live their life in the play, for me, though. I'm very surprised that it seems to be accepted in the theatre. I wouldn't have held a script; I've always believed that an audience deserves the best performance, no matter what, even if it's for charity. Holding the script in front of an audience seems more like watching a rehearsal to me, an unfinished work in progress, similiar to seeing an actor recording their dialogue in a studio; I found the tall stands distracting, too. Or perhaps, their characters were holding scripts for their play? If theatres don't already do this, I thought that another way that they could raise money, rather than overwhelming people by asking for so much at one time, (judging by the seats that they still had left near the performance day, I'd say the price kept people away) is to have a donation box in the lobby, year-round, for all shows, in case, someone might want to give extra, spare change after a show. Is that Carrie between Michael and Elizabeth? Yes; That looks like Carrie to me. |

The term was coined by playwright Bertolt Brecht to describe the aesthetics of epic theatre.so 'destroying the illusion' - as you said - was maybe their goal. |

I guess I'm used to watching and enjoying seeing actors completely portray their character's life, and imagined that the theatre would want to stay away from modern technology, especially when performing Shakespeare because the actors in Shakespeare's day didn't have them and they'd strive to perform the same way, though not neccesarily without wearing modern clothes. |
