[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 256102, member: 23"] I think she'd need to be. She's a visionary, and it must be so difficult to have a very clear, very specific intuition around what's going to work and then be around people who don't get it. It must have been very difficult to entrust others to speak the words she'd chosen so carfully. I think that's why those people who were able to read her work the way she saw it were the ones she kept re-using. From what I've seen of the way the BBC have treated some of her work, I can fully understand that. If Victoria wanted to say something, she was going to say it, and I can't imagine her taking kindly to someone trying to muzzle her or change her vision. Oh yes. Can you imagine?! I think it's the musician in Victoria. It's been fascinating to watch her in interviews talking about the importance of rhythms and how each word is carefully chosen to create a certain rhythm, just like a piece of music. With these things I suppose there are some sets where ad libbing is encouraged, some where people can get away with it, and others where it's just a big no-no. I have to respect all the actors who worked with Vic, because their memories for dialogue must have been impeccable in order for them to make it. Oh my word. What perfect timing. Thanks for this James. I'll have a listen to it in the morning (although, of course, by then it [U][I]will[/I][/U] have been heard before). [/QUOTE]
