Kelvin and I got settled into our seats and began to view the Johnny Lee Miller-as-creature version, which I had seen in 2013. There were technicals difficulties in our theatre: three false starts. So we got to see the creature in that first scene before the coming of the railroad train at least three times. When they finally got it going the second time, the dialogue was muffled.<br /><br />Third time was the charm, but Kelvin had come on the Access Calgary bus and since the show is only two hours I had booked the pick up time, now allowing for the glitches. Too bad since so many of the episodes are so wonderful. I love the one with the blind man teaching the creature to speak; I love the one where the creature tastes his first food from a pot and learns the words bugger-off; I adore the scene where Frankenstein creates a partner for the creature -- oh, I just love it all. I think we have two classic "takes" that are going to be around for a long time. My guess is that both shows will be back again.Arta Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329194629476229822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784798779972837102.post-66798788782581023922014-10-23T11:46:17.072-06:002014-10-23T11:46:17.072-06:00Argh!!
