Sylvia

Matt mentioned during dress that he wasn't sure about my "Measure for Measure" ending but now that the performance high is gone and I have had a few days to digest the show...I still stand by my unhappy ending. Sylvia had a lot of enjambed lines and spoke with great conviction and eloquence. I don't think her silence is an accident. I think there are volumes spoken in the silence. Also...with the way we staged the final moment with Proteus, Valentine, and Sylvia...when Valentine hands Sylvia to her attempted rapist...I don't think a character as smart as Sylvia would in 5mins decide everything was better. Just a final thought! It'll be interesting to see how the ASC stages the ending in the Summer 2012 season!
