What I liked

The modern costumes that didn’t distract from the story. The full Relationships of characters that made the rich dialogue easy to understand. The use of the stage. The candles, AND the tie to the future with “Sean” (Kelton Lin) who felt like our professor at the beginning. The collectable cards.

What I didn't like

Add more candles! They looked so good during transitions when there were on!

My overall impression

This show actually reminded me of “Game of Thrones” for the fact that everyone desired the power to have their very justifiable perspective on what the scriptures should be about, considered THE truth. The ending was haunting, (I wish I had taken a picture). The writing was beautifully Shakespearen but easy to follow with the great relationships the actors played. The sly, cool/conniving"Iago"style of “Athanasius”( Played by Brendan Haley) was mesmerizing. I want to write about each and every actor! But I’ll just say, they were an absolutely talented cast! Tricia Aurand has created a very amazing and meaningful piece that I want to pick her brain about.
