I am my own wife
I had never been to a theatre setting such as the Goodman Theatre before and it was exciting. The building was enormous. When I first entered I thought I was at an Opera House. The shape of the theatre was huge. It had high ceilings and high seating. Balconies went on for days. The shape of the theatre was a semi circle shape. In the theatre I felt very Closter phobic. The seats were so close to each other. My neighbors were so close that I felt like I couldn't move either which way and became stiff. This uncomfortable position distracted me from the play. Being comfortable is important when seeing a performance When the show first opened I was a little skeptical about seeing all the furniture on stage. My first thought was why is the theatre storage showing? As the play progressed I realized that it was all a part of the play. The props were arranged on stage adequately. There were just enough props to help the actor and not so much as to distract the audience, although the furniture at times did distract me. The furniture took my focus off of the actor quite a few times. I was fascinated by the idea of see through curtains. The curtains in the scene where he went into the basement was so real. It actually looked like a real
One thing that I did not know is that Doug played thirty-four different characters. I'm not sure if he was wearing a microphone because I couldn't see one but his voice was so well projected that I felt like he was next me. All the furniture in the background is suppose to be Charlotte's collection that is also why I would keep that scenery. The costume for Charlotte would remain the same. Another thing that would remain the same is the curtain and door setup. I would have had one character for the reporter, one for Charlotte, and one for Charlotte's friend. I think not only would it give a spark to the production but it would also keep the audiences attention. I understand why the reporter became so wrapped up in his story. Not many actors that I hang around or know could keep up with such a load of characters. The pearls added a touch of personality to Charlotte. In the living room I would have actually had a coach.
