The Father, the Mother, the Stepdaughter, the Son, the Boy, the Child…
For very strange reason, I was thinking of Hagen’s concept of presentational and representational actor when we were discussing the plot of the play….
“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow…” “…alas for the tomorrow that will never come.” 🙂
It seems unique that two of the lines in the play were in English. When an actor had to repeat something, he spoke in English, which made it feel like if the whole play was in French to put emphasis on how the actors try to communicate better using English. I wonder if the same play performed in other countries would have the actors use the country’s native language even if it was French. This use of language that all of the audience can understand in a foreign play also made me laugh while I was watching it.
