My overall impression
This is a story of lost innocence. The story revolves around a young girl effortlessly played by Jennifer Allcott who is both innocent and without troubles. Her friends too are girlish and giggly. The boys however, are brooding over their need to succeed, to excel in school and most importantly with their sexual feelings which bears a suffering guilt. The male protagonist, Melchior, played passionately by Patrick Riley,one of two directors, has figured out not only what these sexual feelings are all about but what should be done about it. Finally in an act of innocence gone astray the two leads meet by chance and turn a playful childish moment into sexual breakthough – played half off-stage this hurls these two young souls toward their adulthood which is met only with the ultimate tragedy.
A bit choppy, but well cast and played, enjoyed the sound effects, masks and unusual use of language.
