keen ~ I'm in your camp. Never been exposed to Pinter before and was spellbound. Perhaps Otto just missed the point?

Saw the show yesterday. I had read the play months ago, so I was pretty prepared with most of the story. We got rush seats in the left box and sight lines weren't that bad. Only thing obstructed was the drink cart. Set fit the show well and the audio levels were better than I expected. Sometimes I hate that at plays you have a hard time hearing all the lines. Overall, I thought it was very good for the material. I wasn't overly thrilled when I read it, a little too twisted for my taste. I don't mind twisted, but I need a little bit more to go on. But as with many other things, the performances made up for it. Raul was a bit tough for me just because it was hard for me not to see other characters (Philip) in the performance, but I am sure for someone less familiar with him it would be fine. A lot of awkward laughing from a general 40+ audience. Orch was full, Mezz was 90% full, and balcony was bout 50% full. Not bad. Everyone was very gracious at the stagedoor after.

This sounds amazing! I can't wait to see it!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
