25 Plays Per Hour

My overall impression

Very interesting concept. Applauding the group for their effort and teamwork. I just found it very difficult to become invested in the actors storytelling with so many pieces being fired at us in such a small amount of time. Large amount of comedic pieces that did not always land the joke the playwright was aiming for. I did find myself getting a bit confused as to which pieces were suppose to be funny and which ones were suppose to be serious. Looking around at my fellow patrons reactions, I could tell I was not the only one. At times I felt even the actors were a bit confused about their storytelling and were a little too focused in getting all 25 plays done within the allotted amount of time. More thought could have gone behind the organization of the pieces and how they were arranged. That might have helped in taking the audience along on this journey. With that said, do go and see it. It’s Pay What You Can and it is a very interesting concept. There are some gems within the cluster of shows and there are some very thought provoking pieces.
