Billy Crudup and Denise Gough bring gravitas to this stage version of the classic Western
6 / 10
Crudup brings gravitas and quiet dignity to the role, as well as a touch of delicacy (he could have been ruthless in his approach, but he wasn’t), though he lacks a big stirring speech to bring everything together. As Amy, Gough conveys her quiet strength in a relatively underwritten part. Despite being terrified of being made a widow on her wedding day, she won’t unquestioningly “stand by her man” because that’s what’s expected, and she has the chance to showcase her singing ability with songs by Bruce Springsteen and others.
