Version 1

Annie get your gun (2009-10-Young Vic Theatre-London)

Type de série: Revival
Théâtre: Young Vic Theatre (Londres - Angleterre)
Salle : The Maria
Durée : 2 mois 2 semaines
Nombre :
Première Preview : Saturday 03 October 2009
Première : Friday 16 October 2009
Dernière : Saturday 02 January 2010
Mise en scène : Richard Jones •
Chorégraphie : Phillipe Giradeau •
Producteur :
Avec : Jane Horrocks ( Annie Oakley ), Julian Ovenden ( Frank Butler ), Chucky Venn (Buffalo Bill), John Marquez, Liza Sadovy, Buffy Davis, Niall Ashdown, Eric MacLennan
Commentaires : This production was very controversial. It had been updated to the 1940s, with film sequences of Annie getting medals from Churchill, Hitler and Stalin; it had been re-scored for four upright pianos; the “I’m an Indian Too” number had been cut; and the design included a kind of conveyor-belt, moving model water-towers, cactus plants and telegraph poles along (“like the one used for prizes in The Generation Game”). For some, Richard Jones’s production was brilliant, witty, startlingly revisionist and exciting. For others, “Jones is a theatrical show-off who feels the need to put his own personal and often malodorous mark on everything he directs, like a dog urinating on lampposts” (D. Telegraph). “Critics, get your blunderbuss” was the majority view of the direction, though everyone thought Julian Ovenden was the best-ever Frank Butler, most people loved Jane Horrocks’s Annie, and everyone recognised the succession of hit- songs as one of the great all-time Broadway scores.

Version 2

Commentaires : This was a very large cast for a fringe venue, but its sexual politics were outdated in 1981, the first time round, and this revival was described as being tooth-rottingly sweet, out of the ark, and a piece of nostalgic curiosity.

Presse : "It’s a courageously inventive performance that few of his contemporaries could match, but even Carvel could do more to relish the language." Michael Billington for The Guardian

"Bertie Carvel gives moving expression to Yank’s rage and vulnerability, growing steadily in stature with every new assault of misfortune, violence and frustration. With a slight vocal shift from volume to projection, his admirable performance might become a great one." Jane Shilling for The Telegraph

"Carvel makes his moodiness painful, his pride clumsy and his self-discovery explosive." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

JOHN PETER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES says, "I think Schwab sees the world as a place where you shovel shit and get done for it by your resentful elders."
