Bountiful: A Memorable Symphony by a First Class Orchestra

5/5
The La Stage Times: Connie Chats by Connie Danese from Los Angeles, California
29th September 2014

TTTB defines the word memorable. On opening night Cicely Tyson, Vanessa Williams, Blair Underwood, Jurnee Smollett-Bell and the entire pitch perfect cast created a symphonic poem to the tune of Horton Foote’s beautiful, timeless play under the baton of director Michael Wilson. It was a privilege to have witnessed the ageless Miss Tyson seamlessly unfold the layers of a woman at the last stages of her life journey. The 80+ years young Tyson’s timing is razor sharp; dropping a word down an octave, folding her agile body into a meaningful slump or shooting a pointed glance. One must remember not to applaud when the virtuoso is in the middle of her syncopation and save the bravos until the final note is played. The second definition of bountiful in Merriam-Webster’s dictionary is “giving or sharing in abundance and without hesitation-a bountiful host who makes sure that everyone has plenty to eat at his dinners-.The feast on stage was a banquet served by a cast of master chefs.
