Sorry?

Oh dear. What exactly was this all supposed to be about? Just because something doesn't make sense doesn't automatically make it profound (or even interesting.)

While this may have worked as a short story, this production was frankly terrible- the acting was amazingly stilted and the dialogue just amateurish. Ewan McGregor can certainly do better, and everyone concerned should forget about this as soon as possible.
