Guest bobbalino Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 On Masterpiece Theater tonight, I think the one time only. It played London's West End, and subsequently on Broadway. For someone living in neither city these TV Productions can be a good deal. I recall Tim Pigott-Smith from Jewel in the Crown 33 years back.

Members Lucky Posted November 4, 2017 Members Share Posted November 4, 2017 I missed the TV presentation, but will see it at the Pasadena Playhouse later this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted November 26, 2017 Members Share Posted November 26, 2017 I learned that the TV presentation was only 90 minutes long, versus the almost 3 hour play. The first act took an hour and 20 minutes. I was pretty bored by then and did not stay for more. The Pasadena Playhouse is a wonderful historic venue.

Guest bobbalino Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Sorry to hear you did not enjoy it. I cannot recall the length on Broadway with Pigott-Smith, who died recently by the way. I read the play before committing to the long trek to NYC. Was the CA cast all British? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted November 26, 2017 Members Share Posted November 26, 2017 I don't know for a fact, but my companion remarked on the lack of British accents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bobbalino Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Americans, bit-part/xtra-grade. Everyone deserves a shot. Hit and miss, the bullseye is elusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
