‘Strasberg on Mr Charlie’, Terry Coleman

Lee Strasberg interviewed by Terry Coleman about the production of Blues for Charlie. Mainly about production problems but also includes:

‘Mr Baldwin had not quite succeeded in getting his message over. Perhaps the play as it was produced had too much passion, too little compassion. Perhaps this was Baldwin’s fault, maybe the company’s. The third act was…illogical, cluttered, and confusing…Mr Strasberg went on to say they had done their best to help Mr Baldwin realise his vision…the playwright had worked with the director for a year…and approved the changes made to the text’.
