BRIEF ENCOUNTER REVISITED

I loved it in Brooklyn last year and I loved it all over again in it's limited run Broadway transfer. Revisiting "BRIEF ENCOUNTER" has not altered my opinion that this is one of the most enchanting evenings to hit New York theatergoers in years.
Adapted and directed by Emma Rice from Noel Cowards classic 1945 film, this story about the special relationship between two married[to others] people is presented so brilliantly and is so beautifully acted that the total effect is close to genius. This should be seen by anyone interested in just how far theatre can go in creating mood and and an all -involving theatregoing experience all at the same time. It is just a heavenly theatre event and a real boost to an unusually arid theatre season.
