To the gentle previous reviewer, I found that the show was brilliant and differently from an ignorant I try not to waste people's time with useless questions such as the one you dared to write. Let's follow your very logical order: 1. A lot of productions try to modernize Greek tragedy by changing the technique, the energy, costumes etc.etc. but they fail to preserve the historical and ideological meaning of a Greek tragedy. There is only one way that its truthful to the tragedy and it is not a personal opinion. 2. This question sounds like a kinder garden kid who gets bored at museums. I'm sorry if you don't like museums but if you were to know anything about the Kuroi, for instance, you would be able to see the resemblance to the actors's postures on stage for that was the way it was done. I wish there were more people that could compose rococo music like Tchaikovsky in 2011, it would spare us a lot of pop crap. By the way there are still classical composer if you weren't aware of that. 3. As proven by your previous question your opinion really doesn't matter at this point, but this is a quite idiotic one. If you asked in the Q&A after you would've understood how it was mainly a budget matter, not to speak of the lack of space. But if you were confused by 4 female actresses on stage why would you want to ridicule yourself more with 25? 4. Another question that you could have asked yourself to the cast but however the chorus is meant to be an amplifier of the emotions that the characters go through on stage. By now we understood how your taste is pitiful and you lack of attention. 5. Are you a coward sir? All these questions could have been asked to the actress and cast themselves instead of trying to write a poorly written "review" here. I was not witnessing your same show, in which someone braver than you actually asked a question apparently, so I am not sure what you are referring to but you are most likely wrong, considering everything above. 6. At last you had to be obviously rude, proper behavior of someone like you. You do seem ignorant and the director organized the Q&A, as a tradition also, to share his knowledge with the audience which is a sign of respect which you couldn't catch(presumably not knowing what respect is). You, tasteless pedestrian, are everything good acting and good Theatre stand for, please spare us with your useless presence and go watch a musical or rather stay home and watch a soap opera so perhaps that would be something that would fall within your competence. Let me leave you with a question: since you felt so confused and shamed in Trojan Women in 2009, WHY did you come to see Leonidas latest production? Wouldn't that be hypocritical? Yours truly Someone who like the show.
