i caught Michael Chiang's Private Parts today.
very neat, if i do say so myself! mightily hilarious, witty and tender. the first part warmed us audience up pretty fast, Lavinia's (kevin murphy) adroit quips always make us crack up. you just have to love her character.
Mirabella, on the other hand, is not exactly entirely pensive. she has her comic moments as well, especially about warren's 'equipment'. i adore her posh BBC accent, though it was more fitting for a man than a woman, much less a transsexual. lol.
warren (timothy nga) is one helluva nondescript character. talk show host, poor chap who injures his private parts in a golf accident, has jamie yeo as girlfriend, too embarrassed to be seen at sex change clinic... et cetera et cetera.
reckon the warren character's designed to blend into nothingness; unlike lavinia, who grabs one's attention and refuses to let go, which in fact is great as she was deeelightful to watch.
pacing of the play was fine too, though they hit a more serious tone after transmission and it was kinda hard adjusting, in my opinion.
anyhow, today's the last day. my rating: 3.5/5.
i never caught this play during its run in 1992 (i think), so i'll spare you guys the comparison, you can get that from saturday's straits times anyway. i'm miffed that the reviewer, whose name i didn't bother to note, just had to pit the old Private Parts against this new contemporary version. why can't they be two separate entities? i think it's an enjoyable play if one paid the old version no heed.
stupid straits times reviewer should be whacked.
