She can't act to save her life
Williams is controlled hysteria
Actually difficult to do well
She is trying so hard to maintain her accent
Most of it inaudible
Shrill screeching
The accents are truly horrific
The set is awful and doesn't help the vocals as it amplifies the shrieking
There is a very small member
And some breasts way past their prime
The direction is aimless
And this is disgrace compared to the Novello revival some years back
Which was tense and well acted

Plenty of people left at the interval and more during the execrable second half
Some of the scenes just have no end point
I knew the good run would have to come to an end
I didn't think it would be this horrific

Go and see the production
Before you get on your high horse
See if the nudity is necessary or relevant
Or called for
Or in fact is it even more embarrassing
Than the lack of any sort of acting talent in the 2 leads
I love how people sh*t their pants
Without even knowing what's going on
The nudity is pathetic
Distracting and irrelevant
It is supposed to be alluring and seductive in the context of how they have tried to shoehorn it in
And on this level it fails

They are actors, they have been asked to partake in nudity, they have done so for their job and any respectful person would not then go on a message board to deride the size of their genitalia or make ageist comments about their boobs.

Comment on whether you thought the nudity was necessary or not by all means, but there is absolutely no need to make personal insults on people's nude appearances. It isn't the actors' job or choice to warn the audience and therefore they shouldn't be the ones being ridiculed by you.

It is the actors job To Act If they are offering nudity as a blatant substitute as they cannot act Then it will be open to judgement As I said See the play Then get back to us

Surely even you can see the difference between commenting that the nudity isn't needed and making negative comments about the actresses body?
That's just as unnecessary as you think the nudity is in the first place.

Do you believe in using rational thinking at all or is that a foreign concept to you? I don't need to see the play. It could be the worst play on earth with the worst acting and the most unappealing nudity but I still wouldn't come home and think it was time to delve into everything I disliked about the nude bodies of the actors that are performing for me.

I don't care what you think, I care about what you post.
The line of what is right and wrong stretches far beyond what is legal and illegal.

And again if you had just said you thought the nudity unnecessary that would have been fine but you didn't did you.

Just read page one on this thread by mistake, from back in February. It explains the previous page perfectly, however.

I had forgotten that page And now it seems as if she planned the nudity all along She seems better at that Than she does at acting anyway Perhaps she can move a few streets down And into a different sort of venue It might be a massive success for her

There's something unbelievably narcissistic in the way that you seem to equate your personal taste with an objective measure other people's intentions:
You don't like the actors, or decide that they're too old to show skin, and therefore they must simply be getting their kit off as a crutch to hide the lack of artistic merit. It couldn't be that your subjective view of whether or not this was necessary is separate from the actor and directors reasons for including it in the first place.?
Believe it or not, the intentions behind people's actions can't simply be determined based on whether we like what they do or not.

There is no artistic value and no talent
Demonstrated
Anywhere in this production
The nudity proves this
And grossly magnifies the shortcomings and deficiencies

With that comment, your using a Daily Mail quote about how revealing an actresses' clothing was at a red carpet event as a way of implying a lack of artistic integrity, and the phrasing that "it seems as if she planned the nudity all along" I get the feeling that we just have very different views on the issue of nudity in theatre. That's fine, but I suppose that means there isn't really a common ground upon which to have a discussion.

I have no issue with nudity in any other production I have seen Numerous over the last 2 decades Never once was I distracted or was affronted Here it is because it has been added to make up for other deficiencies Was I so annoyed
