It was as finely crafted a play that has ever been my good fortune to see. Well done EVERYone. Be Well.

Paul Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:18:55 +0000 http://bcsphantom.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-5672 Dear Phantom, As you note, there's added challenge doing another run of a play so popular and done locally so often. With all of the many fine performers you must recall from the past we're pleased you weren't disappointed with this one. Direction was a major factor in that. Comments on your Catherine note. She is indeed a very fine actress, and clearly conveyed the change wrought through interaction with Charlie. Although you obviously enjoyed the transformation, your review implies it was badly done because you didn't like what you saw in Catherine early on. That's confusing to me. (I'm probably making "that face" right now) The show couldn't have been as well done without a fine performance from the lead and title character, So, on his behalf, I ask you to come forth once more to offer him a bit of Phantomly feedback. I know he'd appreciate it, even if it is unprecedented. For myself, thanks for the generous comments, and for remembering that I remain "the man of a couple of dozen faces". Dear Phantom,

Which is why I pointed out upfront that hey, I have an ego, too. ;) The perverse part of me rather enjoys the continuation of this tradition, even if my ego doesn't...

I really wish you would do more theater. I loved the play. Everyone did a great job. Cudos to Chaz for his excellent job of directing this play. Come see Treasure Island at StageCenter.
