I was at the Lyceum in Edinburgh tonight to see Peer Gynt. This is a very "Modern" interpretation of the tale. The performances were excellent and I liked the set design and lighting.

Unfortunately I wasn't convinced by the Jerry Springer cast of gross characters, which to me is a fault with the script. The actors did an amazing job with what they had. The only likeable character did what the plot needed her to do, not what you might expect her to do.

Which all meant that my emotions were never allowed to engage. If all that talent and effort had been put to work with a better script then this could have been a stunning show.
