My acting coach lent me a VHS of the play with Brian Dennehy in the lead and Ron Eldard as supporting actor.

I got through with it not to long ago and have to say Dennehy was just a phenomenal performer in it, I've been watching to much of this hollywood A-list crap. Theatre really is an incredible art compared to hollywood movies.

ahh DOAS brings back memories of grade 11 English. Thank God that's over lol Maybe it's just the way it was taught, but I found it extremely boring.

I'm guessing you're an aspiring actor.
How's that going??

I hope you didn't watch the Dustin Hoffman version. I hear he ruined it (though he is great in movies).

The one I watched is apparently somewhat hard to come by on video, but the person I aquired it from is an emmy judge so she gets ahold of these random movies.

It was hardly boring to me. At first it was very boring (but I think all plays are very boring at the start). Then as you move on and the whole family gets ripped to shreds, and diving into the horribly tormented Willy Lowman. Dennehy was perfect, I usually watch these with a keen eye for how the actor is playing his part but I couldn't keep focused. He just WAS Willy Lowman.

Right now it's aight, I'm just taking these classes and have been talking alot with my acting coach about the industry. It's all very interesting, I've learned more from her about the buisness than any research I EVER did on my own.
