Disappointment
7 November 2023
I like the cast and the acting of the lead players is good. Meagan Tandy, Wes Brown and Brely Evans are natural. The script is really lacking. The characters as written are frequently childish, shallow and lack any nuance. What could have been an interesting story is just painfully predictable.

The music is annoying and utterly pedestrian. It lacks any semblance of thematic coherency.

Directing is poor in that we are spoon fed everything. The whole production feels like a slightly darker television after school special.

Things do pick up a hair in act III. For just a moment it feels like we might be building towards something. Unfortunately, the poor man's version of an actual soundtrack gets louder and becomes almost comedically distracting. For the final climax, we are treated to an anti-climax. Just plain bad writing.

On another positive side , the hair and makeup is expertly executed. More productions should follow this realistic and nuanced effort.
