Can anyone verify if Oscar sounded like that in real life? I was very confused by the accent/vocal choice from Sean. It went from affectation to slipping into full on camp bizarro world. The first half of this play was also an exercise in complete tediousness to me. Like yes, things are being built up, but either the way it was written or directed (possibly both) made it tiresome to get to the meat of the show, nearly 60 min into a 100min play. If Sean beats the other four nominees for Best Actor, I will truly be baffled.
All that said, the piano playing scene? Chef’s kiss. And the wife did a great job.
