What I liked
Jacob and Casey were particularly delightful but I didn’t feel there was a weak link. The use of silhouette and the different transition cues were, I thought, effective. It was a lot of fun, most of all.
What I didn't like
I’m keeping a light touch on this because what I saw wasn’t ready to be properly reviewed (or put differently, I am not personally sure how to gauge a very script-in-hand reading). I was impressed with what I saw being as effective as it was in the form it was in.
My overall impression
The version I saw was the longer ‘mostly staged’ adaptation, and I took my viewing in context accordingly; so scripts in hand didn’t bother me. And, actually, that scripts were often in hand but that the performances were still effective speaks very well to the cast.
I really enjoyed the play, it was both thematically gruesome and fun, with good ideas about how to present violence and transition.
