chenoameg!) I find that most of what I'm thinking about is differences/similarites to the dpolicar/chanaleh version. All the things I think about the play are still true - I still find Matt more sympathetic than Sally, the writing good, and so on. I found the Lyric Matt very like Dave's Matt, but the Lyric Sally much more different (both harder and more frightened, which meant I could maybe understand her a little more (though I guess having seen it once before helps with that), but like her a little less.). I wonder if this is because Matt's character (for me) is so tied up in the accents and voices?
The only thing that I really didn't like was the music during the Sally-confesses confrontration. My first instinctive reaction was "oh for God's sake, is that someone's cell phone?" Then I realized it was music from the bandstand (there's a line about it), but even so, it made my entire emotional reaction to that scene one of annoyance at thenoisemusic as opposed to a reaction to anything going on on stage.

"Are you kidding me? mumble mumble sleep under his roof mumble mumble... we think maybe they'll shave your head." Yeah... it's clearly a jointly planned venture, but the actual reveal could have played either way. In my head it was Matt.
Of course, the fact that seven kinds of hell were breaking loose up at the house that you only find out about in Talley and Sons is also important, but Matt doesn't know about any of that either.
