Last Monday I saw Eugene O'Neill's SEA PLAYS at the Old Vic Tunnels.  First of all, let me just say how COOL the Old Vic Tunnels are.  This arts space is basically converted train tunnels underneath Waterloo Station.  It's all brick and feels like a pirate cove.  I felt like Blackbeard, sneaking down dark passageways in and out of the candlelight.  The staging for the show was equally atmospheric: the audience was herded past a ship's boiler room and into the theatre, where the show began with a ferocious storm.  Men ran in and out dousing each other with buckets of water, the lighting and sound design giving us only glimpses of the horror.  While I'm not really a fan of O'Neill's early writing, this production really physicalized the moments in between.
