Observations
-
I saw this production when it transferred to the Aldwych and witnessed an undignified incident involving Gavin Campbell in the role of Jupiter. His grand entrance, strapped onto a splendid eagle, was launched too early (during the preceding scene) and had to be hurriedly aborted, leaving him in a captive state halfway between Heaven and the stage. The show ground to a halt. After a few moments a Stage Manager walked on to explain that the mechanical mishap could not be put right quickly enough for the scene to be played as intended. While the helpless god was being rescued by a ladder, the admirable Jeffery Dench (Cornelius) gave the audience an impromptu account of what they would have seen. Bad luck for Gavin and the ghosts. Only a miserable purist would have claimed that the original text was more entertaining.
