John Craggs as Victor in The Seagull For the first time, we ran the whole play in costume. It was a moving expervience. Of course, it isn’t the actors who are supposed to feel moved, it’s the audience, but we can be allowed a little indulgence in emotion when we suddenly realise we have a show which will fly. Bits of it are deliberately comic, even farcical, yet it dives headlong into a heart-breaking tragedy.
The costumes serve the characters and actors well; the technical side has been well designed and ran smoothly, with only the odd prop mysteriously absconding and having to be mimed. An unintended and spectacular highlight was a chair being hurled to the floor in a rage and completely disintegrating.
