first time getting to watch this play after years of hearing about it, this was a wonderful step into Yasmina's world, great acting and set design :)

Glad you enjoyed it! I found it to be a sly satire of how we perceive modern art...and a great excavation of friendship--esp. male relationship dynamics.

I think these actors are just right in playing their parts. I am not sure "stage sound" works on a video. Some day I would like to see this with wireless microphones. This play can be quite fast moving. It is a great opportunity for some fast camera work to follow that action. Then a back-up camera with the overview shot that you have would be a safety, if the actors jumped out of the close-up shot. Good sound and close ups would make an exciting performance. I also realize that a stage is not a video set.

Thanks! I totally agree. This is just an archival record of a stage production. Just me and my iPhone. ;)

I originally saw the play in the UK and adored it. Now based in France, I've never seen it on stage but have watched several times the definitive French video with Vaneck, Luchini and Arditi. But I would say your version at the very least, rivals the French version and is maybe even better. That is a huge compliment to the actors and also the set design. I was disappointed that the scene at the beginning where Serge and Mark have a long sequence of exchanging glances had been cut - but that is just a minor criticism and unless you know the original, nobody would realise. Great work.

Thanks so much for the comment and kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video. My buddy Justin Hooper designed the set, and I suggested the flipping paintings and the Mona Lisa prop storage. Very fun to work on. My script didn't have the long silent sequence at the top that you mentioned. Now I want to go back and add that! Thanks again.

Did I miss the assistant director holding up " laugh" signs !!? Right from the off.?? Or are Chicago audiences prone to laughing at ( basically ) anything ??

Thanks Craig. ! My comment came across as more negative than intended....doesn't detract from an excellent production . Which , incidentally , deserves a LOT more views !
