DISQUS

Did you watch this show or just have to write about it? I agree with you that it is written in a way that the dialogue forces you to hear some of the same few things more than necessary, but I believed the actors did a great job making you feel their pain; especially the main actors for George and Lenny.

I would have thought you would have mentioned that the actor playing Lenny, due to an accident to his leg (the director came out and explained before the show), had to do the show on crutches! He was great! After the first couple of minutes, I wasn't distracted by the crutches in the least.

Lastly, I respect your opinion about the 'not meant to be funny' line about taking the dead puppy with him getting a laugh; and thinking back, I wished I didn't laugh, but when I think back about that moment I had the thought, 'Man, kids say the darndest things.' And Lenny was a big kid and the acting set me up for that; so, in the end, it made it make sense.

Just my two cents, but I enjoyed my Saturday evening at the Long Beach Playhouse very much.
