What I liked
I liked the narrator setting the scene before each act. Despite having a minimal set, the play and actors do a good job of making the stage feel like a Blockbuster store. The characters, even those we see only once, feel fully developed and unique.
What I didn't like
The narrator (who is the writer/director and not an actor) is very personable and entertaining but could be a little more relaxed and natural. I’m sure that will come with more performances!
The interaction with the invisible front door could be a little more consistent, but I understand the small stage makes it difficult.
My overall impression
More a story told in a Blockbuster than a story about Blockbuster, but the play is better for it. A really engrossing tale about growing up with a cast of well-written, well-acted characters. This is a play I really wanted to see because of how much Blockbuster meant to me growing up and I feel like it delivered.
