The play is deliberately ambiguous in this way too--multiple actors playing the role of Mr. Hyde. The device is interesting but makes some of the action difficult to follow. <br /><br />This production was a smoothly directed and professionally performed as any I've ever seen and I'm sure everyone who saw it would agree with that.Mary Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515655542270431289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680602048847357735.post-1447568793771200102010-04-11T19:42:08.278-07:002010-04-11T19:42:08.278-07:00maybe not enough rehearsal??maybe not enough rehearsal??jacques mulletnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680602048847357735.post-90180901940899649272010-04-11T08:24:17.074-07:002010-04-11T08:24:17.074-07:00The show presents the emotional base of Dr. Jekyll...The show presents the emotional base of Dr. Jekyll, but having the other actors coming on as Hyde at times suggests there are other personalities lurking within each of us. It doesn't work 100 per cent, because the audience doesn't quite know why a certain person shows up as Hyde. Maybe my second viewing will clear things up a bit. I'm going to the matinee today to see how it goes with an audience and see what I may have missed in the first viewing.Mary Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515655542270431289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2680602048847357735.post-32364098957102157032010-04-11T08:14:00.319-07:002010-04-11T08:14:00.319-07:00The description of multi phased personalities and ...The description of multi phased personalities and the idea that they have always been around but never had labels , fed me thoughts of other characters. Included is the idea that those surrounding a radical character also absorb or display variant behavior than normal in response. Peer Gynt's 'trolls' certainly fit, though not murderous. Oedipus fits, though tricked by fate as is Macbeth. And, Daniel Webster's making deals brings on alter-ego change.<br />Peer wrestled himself free. Oedipus and Macbeth lost the hearts of his fellows. Daniel got himeself into a hell of a situation. Other characters near to these flawed personalities suffered and even died falling subject to charisma, charm or power. <br />Having not seen the production, I can only imagine the experience of witnessing (hopefully feeling) the variety of passionate effects of one character being presented by several actors. If the script is a published one, I plan to read it. Your descripton of the show certainly lends itself to the black box of intensity and isolation which concentrates on the actors.<br />The posted picture here is certainly non-realistic but colorfully mood enhancing. To me the message from it is toward emotion, feeling, rather than what is actual. Like a dream or bad experience, the thing remembered is the feeling or sensation more than something actual like the time of day.I think I would like to be involved withseveral actors covering one character role.Cibylnoreply@blogger.com
