Lol. Only in America….

Unless it’s a german production like this one below which seems from a different planet haha. If you wanna have a look at the trailer :)

I haven’t, only seen production shots from it, and yes, they are altering it with light (and that’s about it), but I am also basing my take on seeing other shows by Jamie Lloyd in which I felt that tends to be the main issue - exhausting the possibilities of staging in the first 10 min.

Sure, but after 5-10 min the possibilities of this set are totally exhausted basically. The room for changes/surprises/transformation is extremely limited when you opt for such a space/set. I think that’s the actual issue, it’s diminishing the potential of the experience….

The 3 theatre recordings are all directed by Butusov, filmed at a great quality and come with English subs. One of them - The Seagull production- is by far the best production of that play that I’ve seen. Out of this world.
Consider buying the package. Totally worth it! And for a noble cause…

Visionary really…

He left a few years ago for Paris. He was in rehearsals summer break now at Craiova National Theatre where I directed a show once. I was basically told by one of my friends actors from that ensemble of this tragedy. He was supposed to resume rehearsals with them in 1-2 weeks. For A Winter’s Tale.

Truly heartbreaking…

Most of them are written with an underlying tone of “you should be grateful just to be around/for the opportunity to be in the room”.

The room for potential individualised development path and pursuing of certain interests seems almost 0 in these ads…
