jack wolfe as gabe goodman in next to normal

[wylanspipebomb]

gabe being on stage for this scene was genuinely so gut wrenching i had to take a break

[noahxczerny]

im obsessed with jack wolfe’s portrayal of gabe goodman because what do you mean you played him as a real person who’s dad and sister ignore him, what do you mean you made him real

his version of gabe is so much more sympathetic and that doesn’t take away the anger or the slightly sinister vibes of the character, but wow every time you look at gabe even when he’s not the one singing or talking, something is always going on with his face and body,

im glad the director let him play around with that and that jack wanted the audience to come to their own conclusions on what gabe is/represents

I cannot stop thinking about the undertones of guilt in Diana’s last interaction with Gabe, and even slightly in Dan’s. It’s a bit noticeable in the proshot, was VERY noticeable in the last show I saw. Like this is their SON, he was just a baby who wanted to be loved and remembered and in different ways they both equally failed his memory and turned him into this destructive force which he should never have been. I always saw the London staging of The Break as Diana in part realising what she helped turn Gabe into, as well as acknowledging her own pain.

And don’t even get me STARTED on how they’ve warped Gabe’s memory for Natalie and twisted their relationship which could’ve been affectionate (her brother as her guardian angel or something). And this on top of the MULTITUDE of ways they failed Natalie…and yet it’s Gabe she blames for most of the show. Something about Gabe taking the antagonist role when he’s actually the only innocent in the family because he’s not real and the only thing he did “wrong” was die.

Anyway never not thinking about all the ways this family failed each other it KILLS me.
