I'll limit myself even further, mainly because time is short at work. I suspect that Tony Kushner has in some sense not just translated but also elaborated Brecht's text, in dialogue as well as in lyrics, and that this must account for at least a few extra minutes in the running time. Not to say there's anything bloated about it, but the show could probably be leaner with no loss. Incidentally, one night after Playgoer attended, it still clocked three and a half hours."Playgoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994724588504353485noreply@blogger.com
