As for "Through the Looking Glass"? Well it helps if one knows the story by Lewis Carroll, because you need to place the performance, and characters, into some perspective. Otherwise you have no idea who they are or what they are about. Not all of the story charcetrs are present in this production. It is a strident and discordant creation both in terms of literature, and in this particular performance. There is a lack of apparent melody in the songs and this overall can be disquietening and off putting. It is a story based on childish fantasy populated by adults some of whom are villaneous in character. The performance implies this but does not quite pull off the underlying themes of malevolence and wierdness redolent of Lewis Carroll's thematic writing. Nonetheless it is an important contribution and is visually interesting and full of colour and image. My favourite vision is the more traditional central portrait of Alice. Guys and Dolls, a more traditional musical, with songs that are melodic, is a great production. It stars the talented Lisa McCune, Marina Prior and Ian Stenlake and the new star Shane Jacobson, of Kenny (the movie) fame. There are other performances that add to the cast depth though none as outstanding as Ian and Shane, to my mind. Th interesting thing for me is the proposition that the stars move easily between television soapy series, and comedy, to stage and musical performance. A very enjoyable production. |
