Breakfast at Tiffany´s- The Play

Right as you heard, there is an actual play!

Trying to play the same role that Audrey turned into iconic without getting crucifixed is pretty difficult per se (you tell Jennifer Love-Hewitt). But even more than that: getting good reviews while doing it... it´s just outstanding!

The best part of it all is that Anna Friel doesn´t try to imitate Audrey Hepburn´s personification of Holly Golightly at all! Any person who has read the book knows what I mean: Even though, the book and the movie are very similar, and that the dialogs contain some literal parts from the book. The content, the ending and especially, the message are completely distinct. And that´s what Anna does: translate the vision of what Truman Capote truly intended it to be.

What Audrey did to Holly was neutralizing her sluttiness with that lovely regal charm, beauty and poise proper of herself. And I must say that it was for the best!

 

  

 

As you can see, the costumes are very 40s and Fred is gay, just as in the book!
By press reviews and screencaps, I can tell that it is pretty great ;)
