SPIRIT CONTROL?

Posted: 11/3/10 at 11:24pm

I just saw it tonight. I really, really liked the first half and I loved the opening scene of the second act between Adam and his son. And then...weird things happened.

What. The. Hell. Were the last 30-40 minutes of this play?

Was anyone else as confused as I was? Am I just stupid? I mean I understood that (spoiler) he imagined his life with this woman (end spoiler) but...I just was confused by the rest of the final scenes. Can someone help me?!

It's a shame too, because it was an enjoyable show for the most part until it totally unraveled at the end. And Jeremy Sisto was excellent.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED this show. Jeremy Sisto was EXCELLENT.

I got it. In fact, I thought it was very self-explanatory once (SPOILER) what's-his-face who was the original interrogator from the beginnings revealed who he was.

However, I cannot for the life of me remember the details of my thoughts since I originally saw the show. Guess it didn't have a lasting impression, haha. I do remember really really not see the ending coming (although it was quite obvious who the girl was once she opened her mouth at the bar).

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I loved this show also. I think I got it, but due to the nature of the show, we are really not able to discuss it on the boards without completely spoiling it. When the show ended I heard many people saying to their companions, "I hope you got it because I didn't". Jeremy Sisto was terrific and I hope he continues to grace the stage in NYC for a long time.
