It was a good play, the acting was good. I disliked Trinculo's accent hugely. I appreciate it is a funny accent. I did not think it worked. but that's ok. I liked the way Prospero was played. Fun, rather than menacing. I prefer that. I disliked the spirit's costuming, as I thought that the costume hugely worked against all of the - intense - physical performance and hard work that was going on. The stiff skirts hid any flowing, elegant movement and very often made colin and the other spirits look just a touch clumsy, which is unfortunate and I don't understand the choice in outfit. But fair enough

yeah i used to do that... but i've been doing this fandom thing for too long. i get bored of worrying, to be honest. I know mine wont be the most popular opinion, but that's ok.... hey ho

Myska- I loved your long ramble. The more specific details the better! I wondered how they would have him play this- i was hoping for a less bird like more spirit of the air sensibility (like wind?) but hey they went gothic gargoyle bird/dinosaur it sounds like from some of the tweets i read. I live across the pond and the option of traveling to the UK to see the play is pretty non existent due to responsibilites. Reading about your experience makes me feel like I a had a chance to experience the joy vicariously through you and have a good picture of what the experience was like. It is very generous of you to take the time to write and share and it is very appreciated! Thank you -Love this post! Cheers! Ave
