I think the success of the performance depends on how well they are able to portray the character they are playing with that acting style (if that makes any sense).Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291268052797806635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-38498925281447809752010-01-10T21:06:24.886+01:002010-01-10T21:06:24.886+01:00I haven't seen this yet.
