He writes the play in real time. Whenever the curtain is up, time passes normally, and the only "elapsed" time takes place between the acts during those two intermissions.

(We are trying to decide which to do) <br /><br />Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354731.post-81027734889126500622010-10-22T08:06:07.950-04:002010-10-22T08:06:07.950-04:00I really loved this play.

But not much more than classic Nicholas Martin pablum. Glad the Huntington (under DuBois) is deemphasizing this kind of pleasant yawn and doing more challenging, stimulating work with real emotion like Stick Fly or Two Men of Florence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354731.post-33253660752057607932010-10-13T13:58:39.437-04:002010-10-13T13:58:39.437-04:00Hi!

I just wanted to quickly let you know that you can always take your drinks and snacks into the theatre with you - you don't have to rush to finish up while the lights are flashing! The ladies room line, of course, is a bigger challenge with a short intermission. ;)Huntington Theatre Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15193527109157651381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354731.post-28421689119474335762010-10-13T13:39:52.065-04:002010-10-13T13:39:52.065-04:00I enjoyed "Bus Stop" very much.

Would it be possible, in future, to run two acts together and have one 20-minute break? This would be far more advantageous for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32354731.post-75211258308975341732010-10-08T17:59:43.446-04:002010-10-08T17:59:43.446-04:00Very dated play with not very interesting characte...Very dated play with not very interesting characters.

Many of the nuances in the broad themes of love, loneliness, and knowledge might have been lost if the production was not so well understood by the actors. As the characters are brought in by layers, so too are their stories. Each is a piece ofRani via Goldstar.comnoreply@blogger.com
