Last night, I went to see a local production of Agatha Christie's THE HOLLOW. Now, although I admire Agatha Christie, the woman; I have never been a great fan of her mysteries. As for the plays, I have always said that it was better to be IN a production of a Christie play, than have to sit through one.
I have never seen a production of THE HOLLOW, nor have I read it; but this play must have one of the longest and worst second acts, that I have ever seen.
I am good friends with the director, and I know most of the cast of extremely talented actors, but this second was just deadly - and I don't mean it in a good way. I have seen gruel that had more action than the second act of this show. The best thing I can say about this play is that I don't have to see it again.
