Not sure what to make of those images, but it looks interesting.

I saw the matinee today. I thought it was a very solid production with nice design and staging. I found it to be a pretty straightforward presentation of the material. The only somewhat unique choice was splitting Tom, which I don’t think really added or detracted anything. I liked all of the performances, but for me the performances in the John Tiffany revival are still the standard.

Easily the worst production of The Glass Menagerie I have ever seen*. I actively disliked Amy Adams, who I generally love on film, but I admit she was better in the second act. The relationship between Amanda and Tom, which I generally love had no warmth to it and splitting Tom gave both actors, who I have seen be wonderful in other productions, seemingly nothing to do! The best scene was the Laura/Gentleman caller scene, which is saying a lot for the writing because I liked neither actor!

* I did not see the Sally Field Broadway production. However I did see Sally Field play Amanda in a DC production and she was wonderful.

I leave Britain today and I'm glad yesterday I saw the marvellous, diversely cast revival of Legally Blond in Regent's Park. That erased the bad taste in my mouth of seeing Menagerie on Monday.
