Another Simon Stone remake of a classic. In this case the classic has emerged powerful and moving, thanks to Colin Friels as Willy, Patrick Brammall as Biff and Genevieve Lemon as Linda, all wondrous – and strong performances from everyone else as well. I'm wanting to read Miller's text again:
his play has the subtitle 'Certain private conversations in two acts and a requiem'; Simon S's is shorn of the requiem. (I just watched the Requiem in the Volker Schlöndorff–Dustin Hoffman movie, and I'm siding with Stone on this one.)
