Incognito

I saw this tonight and found it to be brilliant, but I knew going in that this was right up my alley. I loved Constellations, and in general I love shows that are both cerebral and emotional. I'm glad i read up on the play beforehand though, as I might have gotten lost.

 

I didn't know who Charlie Cox was going in - I've never seen Daredevil, and I didn't even know which of the 2 men he was until after the show. So think I can say somewhat objectively that he is giving a really wonderful, stand-out performance. It's an ensemble piece, and the rest of the cast does a very good job as well, but Cox's performance is so intricate and beautifully excecuted.

I saw this show last week and had quite a visceral reaction to it. I was extremely moved by it and, leaving the theatre, I ended up walking around Central Park for a bit afterwards to calm my emotions. I thought the writing was an excellent mesh of very human characters who I was emotionally invested in and very interesting ideas - and, the discussion of these ideas never felt forced and always felt motivated from the story.

And, whew, all four of those actors are giving spectacular performances! I had no trouble following the different stories and and I felt the actors excelled at not exaggerating differences between each of their characters, but rather, were able to subtly change the presence each of their characters presented. I thought Carr would be the stand-out for me (and she is giving a great performance), but Heather Lind and Charlie Cox were simply excellent in their roles. They are both new to me and I look forward to seeing their future stage work!

I've never seen a performance of any other of Payne's work, although I did read "Constellations" (which I thought was interesting, but didn't really grab me beyond that). I was surprised how much I took to this show and am extremely glad I decided to pick up a ticket.

This was where we met Joel Grey. Meeting him was the high point of the evening. Reminded me of Copenhagen. Blah,blah, blah repeated over and over. Grey, like a few others, nodded off a few times. Baby woke him up when he did.He gave polite applause at the end.

And those atrocious accents.
