What I liked

I one thing that I liked the most about the okay was the usage of the cassettes and other older electronic devices. They were once commonplace a few decades ago and now they’re mostly all buried or lost and have been replaced by other trinkets. The devices represented people and recordings of them were disposable to God and heaven. The idea of God and heaven/hell seeing them as disposable and used was a really strong message of how higher powers and people see more everyday folk as toys to tinker with or fodder for whatever conflict is going on.

What I didn't like

There’s little to really say about how it can improve. There were some hiccups from the cast that were minor and didn’t take me out from the play, and it was a preview show so it’s expected. There’s absolutely not anything I can add to this segment.

My overall impression

I had absolutely little information on this play and I walked in with an open mind and no expectations. I knew there was some deeper message/meaning since it references God and all that sort of stuff. However I was glad I got to see this play as it has a much deeper meaning than simply anything religious. You can replace god/religion with anything that is topical with today’s issues and it still works. The play had very strong Ionesco vibes with it and I wouldn’t be surprised that it has lots of influence in it.
