No matter. Thank you to Mary for adding additional context to the play with her comments. I was hoping attendees having more knowledge and experience with the play would post, because my review was based on having seen it for the first time and having nothing to compare! Much appreciated!CurlyVhttp://victoriabculture.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-32977839050314786282016-12-12T12:32:40.953-05:002016-12-12T12:32:40.953-05:00Both crazy and charming from the get-go, Leontes. ...Both crazy and charming from the get-go, Leontes. Loved his first scene - ominously swift. He was true to his tortured, ambivalent self throughout.<br /><br />Slap-happiness is traditional for British Advent ("The Winter's Tale", right?). Pantos, hobbys, masks, pranks, poppers, et.al. The clever upstage container is reminiscent of early traveling companies. Appreciated the pack it up and move on to the next town feel. Sure, it's a bit rough around the edges. But that is a genuine asset of this delightful 20th century company. One quibble - not enough lighting at times, especially on Paulina. She's wonderful and we want to see her. BTW - love her purse.<br /><br />Anyway, I think the anachronisms were well done. Shout out to Autolycus, Mopsa and Dorcas! And I loved Perdita, accent, attitude, and all. No wispy maiden, she. The final tableau is just delicious. <br /><br />Thanks to all the actors. I had a seriously fun and delightfully emotional time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623758071743411361noreply@blogger.com
