But is "verbose" really a quality that is desirable in a play (or any medium, for that matter)?  I don't think that word means what you think it does...

I’ll be interested to see how the memory play aspect of this is going to work.

It would also seem, given the prominence of the judge and the prosecutor in the billing, that Sorkin appears to be making this more of a courtroom drama and less of a coming of age piece. I hope I’m wrong- if anyone can get this right it’s Sorkin.

Owiuerj pusem oso id;reoga ;peoujapowj lslei!!!!!    (That's my brain. Exploding)   

YES PLEASE.   

There's an interesting line from I Remember Mama that is applicable to adults playing the kids/this being a memory play.  It goes something like..."It's funny, but when I look back, I always see Nels and Christine and myself looking almost as we do today. I guess that's because the people you see all the time stay the same age in your head."

I love this team, this cast, this novel, the movie.   SO excited.  (How long must we wait?)

 


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
