noises off was a great movie .. obviously a great play.
i'm funny about plays - i like old musicals .. but thats about it.
i dont like them for in part - the same reason i dont like sitcom TV.
In a movie you are a fly on the wall .. observing without being observed .. pure voyeurism.
with a play - or sitcom tv playing to a studio audience - the players are well aware that you the audience are there ... they project their voices unnaturally out of necessity - they have to pause unnaturally for audience reaction (laughter)
i find the experience tense and uncomfortable.
with the older musicals i dont care ...(oklahoma, my fair lady)
i guess once people start singing the illusion of reality is shattered anyway - so i dont expect the same experience.
for the record - i HATE ballet - but LOVE opera.
