Did you see the production? From what I've read, the script is messy but a good production can make it interesting.

The actors are solid in their craft but the play lacks meaningful direction. In fact the entire piece is a nihilistic post modern existential piece of drivel that's insulting to the audience. Lots of gratuitous nudity and sex to demonstrate how despicable these under 40 character are. NO likeability of any character, no message (outside of "art is hard to do without money so lets rob people") no real humour (cleaver or thought provoking) and a lot of mastabatory arrogance (Aren't we good and cleaver). Please, this troupe needs a solid older mentor who can help them produce work that is satisfying to both them and their audience. I was sorry i spent money on this and felt insulted that once again i gave the local thespians a chance to show me what their made of and it turns out it ain't much! Go to Seattle or San Francisco if you want to see what small theatre can really do.

I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard good things about the direction. Hoping to catch it this weekend.


Please wait...
