Not su...Ummm...was that a review or a book report?<br /><br />Not sure how much you've talked about this is discussing what goes into reviews and how you do what you do etc., BUT...geez...I would think if the audience wanted a synopsis they could read the blurb from the theatre or you that lovely thing that most of us now have called "the internet".<br /><br />And the few things that are "reviewed" here, seem to really be the play and not the production. AGAIN, we have the internet, we don't need another extensive review of the script. I learned nothing about the quality of this production (other than the set) from this review.<br /><br /><br />Sing to the tune of "The Book Report" from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown:<br />[Hugh]<br />A book report on Brian Friel, Brian Friel, Brian Fr-<br /><br />[Jimmy (overlapping)]<br />A book report on Brian Friel, Brian Fr-<br /><br />[Marie (overlapping)]<br />A book report on Brian Friel, Fr-<br /><br />[Julinda (overlapping)]<br />A book report on Brian Fr-<br /><br />[ALL]<br />-riel.<br /><br /><br />Brian Friel is this Irish guy<br />Who writes these Irish dramas with these<br />ensemble constructions using language<br />[She counts the words so far]<br />Hmm. 283 to go.<br /><br />This name of the play about which<br />this play synopsis is about is<br />Translations which is about this<br />translation.<br />I found it very-<br />I liked the part where-<br />It was a-<br /><br />It reminded me of Shakespeare<br />And the part where Claudio thought he loved her<br />but then he decided she’s a whore.<br />And then he slapped her and she fainted now she’s dead<br />but not really she will soon be back.<br />[etc, etc]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-67416246003440348322009-04-30T15:08:00.000-04:002009-04-30T15:08:00.000-04:00I saw Translations last weekend and I recommend yo...I saw Translations last weekend and I recommend you go see it if you can. I was dreading the drive down there all the way from the west end, but I was really glad I went. The set is fabulous and there are some really nice performances. I had never been there before and I look forward to going back, a great all around experience.<br /><br />Of course everyone should go see this after going to see Well and Annie.Sara Marsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02107672666218792444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29175306.post-53163971573169636032009-04-30T14:59:00.000-04:002009-04-30T14:59:00.000-04:00I know it's not at a theatre you normally cover, b...I know it's not at a theatre you normally cover, but there is a show opening this weekend -- Henrico Theatre Company's Funny Money by Ray Cooney at the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen.
