I saw this play with my parents and we got good seats. I was thrilled at the cast, unfortunately, I do admit that I fell asleep during Cherry Jones' monologue, only to be awoken by her screams. There was a moment when Ray looked up towards the seats where I was sitting and I felt a chill, as if he was looking right at me! Great acting...this is where that really comes in...the duration of their monologues was amazing and the story was chilling.
We did this play (amdram) in 2002. It's essentially four long monologues, Frank Hardy the Faith Healer, his girlfriend Gracie, their manager Teddy and the Faith Healer again each give an account of sliding down the razor blade of life. It's a play you have to see a couple of times to understand; and you have to LISTEN to it, you can't just sit back and let it wash over you.
Don't suppose anyone's got Donal McCDann playing the part?

Think he's doing a bit much with it. No ned to compensate for the lack of action/stage directions, the writing is good enough!

@Ceolteor I saw Mr. Fiennes performance and he was brilliant. Sheer brilliance.

Not the first time Ralph has reminded me of Leonard Rossiter as Rigsby in the Sit Com 'Rising Damp'

I saw him in God of Carnage in one of the first performances and it was great. He was very funny in it. One of the best actors of his generation !!!
