| I've always been curious about the economics behind PERFECT CRIME. So much has been made of Russell running it almost as a one man band...working the box office, cleaning the toilets, working front of house, etc. Could the play have run this long if she were actually employing people to do all these jobs, as a "normal" production would? And does she earn a salary for her efforts beyond what she's paid as a actress as per her (presumably) AEA off-Broadway contract? I find it hard to believe that the play is generating much profit, but, I guess, as the producer, she'd get most, if not all, of whatever that might be. Does she own/operate the Theatre Center? Or is the play simply a tenant there? I'm with the consensus that it's a pretty terrible play and might wish that Russell had spent her career devoting herself to something worth her time. But that is her life and business. When I first saw it in the mid-90's at the now-gone Duffy Theatre, there was a phone number in the program that you could call (this was pre-internet) if you were confused about the ending, and someone would send you a printed explanation in the mail. Have not seen that before or since with any production. Also, noticed that the last time I went (within the last 10 years) this was no longer offered. I wonder if the expense of posting out explanations was becoming too onerous. |
