I agree Mel, i doesn't have quite the same ring to it. It's not a punchy as it is in English, as is often the case.

Van Kan: "In the movie the roles of the wives are expanded and the children are also incorporated in it. That is an accent that Lee has chosen. I would rather put the emphasis on the inner world of those two. The self-censure that mainly Ennis is tormented by, that far-reaching homophobia within himself, that's fascinating. That's why Ennis is a tragic character. He is everything but rooted in himself. I want to show that.

How exciting! I love that it's a two character play and that it's based on the short story rather than the film script. Has anyone seen other productions by this troupe and or director?

This sounds so awesome!!!
Please give us a review when you go. I'm a little bit on the :o side when it comes to them singing songs - maybe in the tradition of German opera and Bollywood, the characters breaking into song at emotional moments?
Don't know how it might translate. The short story is pure Americana. Heath's accent for Ennis was practically its own character. Would they even try an accent?

Absolutely, Melissa is great. But somehow, I'm sorry, Melissa, your translation wasn't as hilarious as Toast's. :) Put that right up there with the Malaysian subtitles. :)
