DR JOHNG - "Arcadia" was most enjoyable last night. There were no slow talkers, so the play was over at 10 p.m. which is great.
It was nice to see some of the kids I've worked with at DePauw in some very interesting roles.
Lovely set and nice music. One girl spoke so fast that I could understand her, and there was a lot of turning and talking upstage.....but it was done "thrust" style, so even if I couldn't see faces, the people on the sides could.
I like the play a lot, and it was very interesting. The one draw back was the woman sitting in front of her us - I heard her talking to the director before the play and telling her that she herself had played the part of the mother. She laughed long and loud at many things....some funny, some not....
