I was really impressed with Lewis.<br /><br />I know the National has a new director now Nicholas Hytner has left. - I just felt the play could have stood on it's own merits but was a little overshadowed. IS there a cinema near you that does the NTLive broadcasts? Maybe you could see what you think!Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234975039675044712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557844049134678035.post-34733498808158879132015-06-21T08:26:49.330+01:002015-06-21T08:26:49.330+01:00I envy you, getting to see this American Buffalo. ...I envy you, getting to see this American Buffalo. I sorta collect them. Saw Robert Duval (Godfather consigliore ) in the opening production on Broadway and then Al Pacino at Circle in the Square, Off-Broadway. Duval was excellent but Pacino was electrifying. Damion Lewis is one of my favourite working actors at the moment. He manages to combine physicality with cerebral intent in such a balanced ways. I would have loved to see his take on this play.<br /><br />Sounds like the producers/directors chickened out on the Everyman and didn't trust what they had = from Euuu classic to Black lead, maybe we need to 'help' him along with a flashy production. Sad when that happens. <br /><br />Real theatre is one of the things I miss most about no longer living in London.<br />Marthanoreply@blogger.com
