Then the lights go down. They come up again, with the same tableau, only now there is the most minor of bows (the removal of helmets).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-63513256306984858002007-04-30T12:20:00.000-04:002007-04-30T12:20:00.000-04:00Hmm, Jaime.

It's been a few weeks since I saw it, and your description seems eerily reminiscent to me.<BR/><BR/>Could I have imagined and remembered the ending as better than it was?!?<BR/><BR/>Anyone want to clarify for sure about the sequence of light cues and bows at the end?Playgoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994724588504353485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-48534685206628973452007-04-29T14:56:00.000-04:002007-04-29T14:56:00.000-04:00When I saw the show in early previews, after the c...When I saw the show in early previews, after the curtain call with the cast in stillness, the lights came up twice more, each time with the actors less still, finally bowing like 'normal' at the end. I'm glad those extra moves have been cut - it's much more powerful not to give the audience the release of a regular bow.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963931779920699803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-85499466653501336282007-04-28T21:42:00.000-04:002007-04-28T21:42:00.000-04:00thanks for this.

Though I saw the Shaw production as well and absolutely fell in love with it. Kudos to whoever dug this play up a few years back and realized how powerful it could be for us now.<BR/><BR/>The Court House Theatre was the perfect space though wasn't it?MattJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024391912705232207noreply@blogger.com
