June 25, 2022What I liked
There was one choreographed moment that was interesting. The start of the play is a good surprise that brings the audience into the show.
That happens in the first 30 seconds of the play. Once you’ve seen that feel free to go do anything else.
Additionally, the actors really gave it a shot. Kudos for attempting to do whatever this was.
What I didn't like
Have a coherent plot.
Build coherent characters.
Create cohesive metaphors.
Have an objective of what the piece is trying to say.
My overall impression
This piece of work is unfinished, unintelligible, and devoid of any real depth.
This show was an attempt to discuss the plight of the housewife living in 1950s America, I assume as the entire thing is a mess, it felt like I was watching someone who had picked movie tropes and shoved them onto a stage.
The plot is incomprehensible. The characters have what you might call arcs, but without any payoff. Everything leading up to those moments is so shallow. If they exist at all.
It’s a play that’s reaching for something. That something is confuse an audience so much that they feel like what they saw wasn’t a totally bonkers mess and they think it’s good.
Sometimes plays are bad. Sometimes they’re really bad. This play fits into the latter.
