Mefistofele recap

Drama kids never cease to amaze me.

We've already discussed over coffee and miles of interstate, but I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this show. Like Amanda said, "I think I need to sit back and let this one wash over me for a few days."

Although this is only the tip of the iceberg, some impressions:
character development: The attention to detail was marvelous.
example: Margherita's walk. She turned her toes in, which resulted in a somewhat awkward gait. It was intentional for her character. Once I recognized it, I began looking for other subtle touches the actors had applied, and was not disappointed. What did you notice?

language and music: was the language or the music ever a barrier? How did it serve to further the production? Subtitles, anyone?

physicality: again, this goes back to actor intention. What did you think about some of the specific images created, movement? The very physical nature of the play became in a sense a character unto itself -- a means to tell the story.

What else?

Field trips in general... I don't care for Suburbans, but I do like Thai food, good coffee, a beautiful night out in downtown Minneapolis, and the company of artistic souls.
