Title: Ken's Faust
Post by: Iain Fisher on February 20, 2011, 11:31:47 PM

An excerpt from Ken's opera Faust by Gounod

The piece is not the best part of Ken's direction, but the article comes up with the usual Ken bashing "This is what happens when you have a director too lazy, stupid, dishonest, or just plain contemptuous of the work he's staging".

You can see the imagery from the opera here

You can get it on DVD, recommended.

Ken brings out the vitrol in people, doesn't he? And I see he couldn't leave the nuns out of it. LOL!
