As I am fond of pointing out, there are times in a man's life when all he can say is "damn."
Tonight was not one of those nights. There were times in the performance when I couldn't make a syllable if I tried. The level of intensity on display was simply beyond anything I've witnessed. A simply exceptional performance by an exceptional company.
Oh, and the story. You can read it, but it will never convey the power of the characters. I will say that at least once in the second act I had to wipe the tears from the inside of my opera glasses.
