What I liked
The immersive quality- Being picked by characters or choosing people to follow. The atmospherics ( At one point every one collects while a recording repeats -‘the is the way the world ends, without any of the actors saying anything) The poetry of the language ( even though I sometimes struggled to understand). But mostly being an active part of this imaginary world. There were interactions on the street with people who turned out to be actors, and responses from people on the street who weren’t actors and thought it was all real.
What I didn't like
The actors walked too fast. It made it less enjoyable and harder to concentrate on what people were saying. Also, it doesn’t end where it begins. I am not from Los Angeles. There were no instructions for how to get back to where we started. At night, in what doesn’t seem like the best part of town
My overall impression
An enjoyable, interesting, immersive interactive play that moves from place to place. Each person attending will actually be seeing a different play as you follow different actors. The highlight was being part of the show. The language is poetic and somewhat Shakespearean – enjoyable but difficult to understand, though you follow the gist. The actors are good. Be warned that the actors (who are of course young and fit) walk very fast. It was hard for me to keep up. My guess is that the more you interact with the actors, the more fun you will have, but the play will still work for those who are less extroverted.
