Glad ya liked what I liked; if the production rematerializes this may well incarnate as a review somewhere too -- and I hope my encomia for Ian the dramaturge didn't obscure my enjoyment of Ian the actor; a great, hysterical yet controlling take, like a domineering Woody Allen; it's funny how contemporary and comparatively (to the Middle Ages) affluent audiences tend to identify with the royalty in these plays since the human truths are so widely applicable, but this often loses sight of the entitlement-anxiety, not legitimate grievance, the arrested-teen prince is suffering from. Your portrayal was a great incision through the centuries of grandeur-accretion to see the play and the role not so much afresh as for what they really are.
