Featured review
It's a desperate attempt at dramatic effect that falls flat on its face.
Disappointment is a vast understatement for this "production." Imagine a play stripped bare: no props, no costumes, no set design. Just actors - well, sometimes. Half the time they're not even gracing the stage, their voices booming from the unseen backstage. While the performers themselves deserve no blame, the entire direction feels like a slapdash contemporary experiment with the budget of a high school play.
The story itself is a confusing mess. It seems to be a revision of a Shakespearean classic, riddled with modern puns that clash horribly with the original text. This creates a jarring experience that makes understanding the plot near impossible.
And then there's the "acting." Since there's a complete lack of scenery, props, or costumes, the audience is left to their own devices, conjuring the entire play in their minds. The actors themselves stand rigidly, delivering their lines with minimal interaction. Important scenes are punctuated not by emotional performances, but by jarring blackouts accompanied by deafening noise and blinding flashes. It's a desperate attempt at dramatic effect that falls flat on its face.
