2 shows in one day! (yesterday) Real Broadway style.
Mums and grans at the matinee show — and some performers from other festival shows. So the 1st show was like a long sound check run-through for the 2nd show — which was the best so far. My patter is taking shape and the band is hitting a stride and comfort level that is exciting. I actually almost cried during “1081”, which is what Dana said she felt when she first saw the video footage. More and more audience members are dancing and I saw some smiles and hands in the air. I think some of the subtext is starting to filter through — the sense of politics as an enactment of both good and bad psychological fantasies…that’s simplifying a bit, but it’s beginning to emerge.
