Advantages: Some interesting ideas

Disadvantages: Acting, set


Having heard rave reviews of this play, I was really looking forward to it, but came away disappointed. It began slowly, with some children running around soundlessly for what seemed like forever, but I still had high hopes and assumed that once the play proper began, all would improve.

Sadly, the mannered acting made it very difficult to forget that one was watching a play and become absorbed in it. The set includes a house, in which the actors spent a good deal of time... making it difficult to see what was happening if (like me) one was not sat in the centre of a row. Altogether, this was mannered acting in a gimmicky set, and a real disappointment.
