^ And you know what? I wouldnâ??t be shocked if New York critics agreed with you, especially considering the playâ??s lineage (the Royal Court, London). That said, I felt the play was hardly intense (due in part to a lack of dynamics amongst its actors) and never powerful (an adjective I use sparingly). Indeed, at my performance last Friday, each actor had issues memorizing their lines. Mr. Whishaw came closest to knowing his character, and even in this instance, his characterâ??s sketch was based in cliché giving him little chance to create a fully developed persona.
We are each entitled to his or her own opinion, and I am glad you enjoyed this play. I went in wanting to enjoy it; however, sadly, I felt the play was generally conventional and that the author was heedless of the group he attempted to depict.
