Riveting Tony Awards-winning play “M. Butterfly.” Multilayered commentary on gender/sexual conformity, Asian racial stereotypes, & east vs west. A Seattle play finally uses nudity constructively. #madameButterfly
Watched the play “Last Of The Boys” at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Despite how amazing & realistic a set is designed, it’s challenging to craft an interesting play when the set doesn’t change. #veterans #vietnamwar #ghosts #dull
Last day of the sold-out Charles Shultz “Charlie Brown Christmas” stage adaption at Taproot Theatre. I need to stop seeing kid-friendly shows. Nice how the schroeder character accompanied the musical (or play?).
Watched the stage play adaptation of Willa Cather’s “My Antonia” at Book-It Repertory Theatre. Lots of cast doubling. Entertaining to hear different immigrant & Americana accents but wonder if they were pronounced correctly.
Watched the coming-of-age LGBT play “Beautiful Thing” (basis for the movie) at Slate Theater. Delighted that it was entirely in cockney accent! Not too thrilled that it was mostly dialogue & no action.
