'Unchained' is really a lot like opera, in the sense that the story is implausible and incoherent, the production is over the top, the actors are all hamming it up to a fare-thee-well, the dialogue is like no language anybody ever spoke -- and you eat it up with a spoon and call for an encore. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
