June 09, 2024What I liked
The PowerPoint art for the two Lord of the Flies scenes were funny in a way that enhanced the jokes made in that scene.
And you can tell that the ensemble enjoys what they are doing and that they have a connection with one another.
What I didn't like
Nothing in the show is taken seriously and everything is played as a joke.
My overall impression
This play takes every opportunity to be earnest only to squander it in favor of being edgy and ironic.
And has there ever been a time where a show has made that choice and it been good?
It’s premise of a young man trying to convince his friends to join him in his family’s bunker before the world ends only describes the last 15 minutes of the show.
Everything before that point is like watching someone’s attempt at aBig Mouth episode with an ensemble of characters who are cartoonishly cruel to each other and not people you want to root for.
