What has really struck me is is the personification of the Big Five. They’re the richest landowners in the town, pretty much in control of it all. When I saw the extreme physical choices that Chris and the actors made, I laughed-we all did. Then I looked closer, and saw how ugly, distorted, and miserly they were. How too much money can sometimes negatively transform the people that have it.
The repetition of the word “Money” made me cringe. And I thought, “Wow, this is brilliant. This is a really special moment.”
