Sunday's performance went off without a hitch, as well, and Plummer and Dourif showed nothing less than a complete mastery of the text. It was a fully committed performance.
I did notice that Plummer was still wearing a knee brace on Sunday, and there were no understudies listed in the playbill. It could be that Plummer's injury was acting up and she was unable to perform, and with no understudy to cover, the performance had to be cancelled.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body
