Today's comment comes from T.M. Gonzales in response to our recent review of Tacoma Little Theatre's production of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.

Gonzales writes,

I think the script actually does give room for a more in-depth look at Hyde. However, scripts and actors are always at the mercy of a director's interpretation and skill. I read the other review. It is what I wish I had experienced watching this production, but, sadly, it isn't what I saw. What I saw were actors who did not seem to understand what they were saying to each other, and actors who appeared more focused on trying to remember where to move that door than they were on telling a story. In my opinion, that is the fault of direction, not script.
