The Country Girl - Friday night squee...

[byslantedlight]

I'm afraid we have to do another one of these, cos I am so enjoying the madness of seeing this play over and over, and the way there's so much different to see in each performance, and the different audiences, and reactions and so on!

Tonight we had:
- someone at the end of the front row applauding when MS came on, which was taken up by a handful of people, and which made me smile, but did interupt the flow of the play a little bit
- MS put on a big red dressing gown earlier in one scene than he had previously, which I thought made quite a big difference to the scene - he capered around as Nancy in it, but because he was more muffled up, you couldn't see him being so kicky and agile and girly about it (though Angel reckoned she thought he seemed more so, cos the dressing gown made him seem more flouncy)
- we sussed out the role of Unger's aunt, in the deeper meaning of the play (mostly because Angel spotted where she was first noted, and made the connection *g*)
- I decided that I really want a copy of the script, so that I can check out all the interesting fiddly bits we chat about!
- lots of interesting little differences, lines changed and dropped and said differently...
- JS and ML fluffing several of their lines!
- MS still has a very slim waist and good legs... still not bad for an old-un *g*
- the very front row is a fun place to sit - I've never been that close to the stage, could have reached out and touched them!
- the sets are still brilliant, and I still love the set changes
- Mark Letheran is good
- it looks like it would be fun to play in a theatre... *g*
