We sat at the table in the corner.  The duck salad is a must!! We even stumbled upon a cafe later that night for dessert and were treated to a thought provoking but odd performance by a singer and her bass and piano player.  Ahh New York! Though I wasn't sold on the specific cast and performance of it, I enjoyed the overall theme and am interested to see what Roman Polanski does with the screen play adaptation.  I think heavy dramadies like this and 'August: Osage County' will benefit from the intimacy of the camera.  To do the story and characters of these 'peak experience' type plays justice, the actors must go to physical and emotional extremes...I don't know how that is physically possible eight times a week- you'd be a psychological mess after a two month run- some are able to do it but what I often see are the actors 'acting' a lot...you know what I mean, pushing and pretending, not experiencing in the moment.  Most of the audience eats it up, especially if voices are raised and things are thrown, but not me.  If it doesn't move me, if I don't feel that authentic moment happening on stage, it loses me.  But I'm a tough critic.  Film is about capturing that private, authentic moment and then elevating it even more with editing, cinematography and the score.  I'm hoping that some of the moments that fell flat to me during this play will be resuscitated by the upcomng film.
