I think that was an homage to SOUTHERN homes in the 50's having those on their lawns rather than Italians.
Was excited to see the play last night, and left a bit frustrated. This is what happens when you have a phenomenal play, top-notch cast, opulent production design, and very little guidance from the director.
If any charm or passion translated to the audience tonight, it was solely from the talent and charisma of Marisa Tomei and Emun Elliott. And the beautiful words of Tennessee, of course.
The staging and pacing, however, were very sloppy, and it helped me to appreciate why those elements are both elusive yet essential. It could have been something truly special, but it didn't seem to me that Cullman helped the company achieve their potential.
