    The play was incredible. The movie wasn't as good, but still it was good.
    The play was incredible. The movie wasn't as good, but still it was good.

    The director/producers should have stayed closer to the original play, and its writing. There were times when Ms. Hammond's voice belted out--and the audience was captivated. Other times, one could tell that the director's weak writing was diluting the strength of the production.

    Give the audience some credit. If the production is well done, they can follow intelligent writing. The writing did not need to be compromised to go to a movie format.
