A bit of theater

Yesterday we went intellectual: we went to the theater to see Misteriós Assassinat a Manhattan. Yes! That's the adaption of the Allen movie!

It was absolutely great. It is a really funny drama (there is, indeed, a murder, so I wouldn't say it is exactly a comedy...). Of course it is not Woody but our Catalan actors and actresses did amazingly well.

Pep Ferrer was very convincent in his routinary-life accommodated freelance-editor role. And Montse... well, she was great in all senses. This woman is pure theater herself and she embroidered the character of Carol.

I wondered how would they get the whole of New York city on a stage, but they managed it intelligently: there was a scenery of the two appartments, and a third space which served as a joker. All of them where united in a central gear which rotated conviniently to one side or the other.

Worth to see it, by all means! I'm already looking forward to our next theater (or opera!) trip :)
