| Description |
Performed on a raised platform with audience in raked seating on either side.The production 'was ingenious… It had all the best features characteristic of this director's work: mobility, vivacity, style, pace and closely-knit ensemble work - along with one of his …less satisfying idiosyncrasies: must people always take the longest way to get from point A to point B? Both the edition used - strong on 'romance', lighter on social satire - and the elegant, even sumptuous presentation tended to undercut Gay's intentions, which are better served by a rougher, tattier and seamier-looking production, such as Dick Johnstone's in 1964'. |
