The Actors From The London Stage put up The Tempest for us last night, a performance I might have enjoyed a lot more had I been a little less familiar with the text. Having studied it for the 'A' levels and seen at least four different versions of it over the years, I tend to be a little fussy over the details. It was one of those performances where five actors play all the characters, and while that worked with Macbeth (which they brought to Duke lasst year), it felt a little gimmicky and forced here. In a 180 degree trunaround, I went to see "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" with another group of friends. It's a very bizarre movie directed by Terry Gilliam, and I'm not sure if I quite appreciated its subtler points, especially since the sound and picture kept flicking off every twenty minutes or so. Griffith is quite a lousy little theater.
