What I liked

Everything!

What I didn't like

Can’t think of anything!

My overall impression

Brilliant writing by Cameron, outstanding direction by Soo, Cadenza is a masterpiece. Having been a neuroscientist, my mind had stayed within the known realms as a teacher but now goes crazy with the possibilities such as the one in this show. Watching Cadenza ignited that feeling in my mind again! It utilizes human behavior as the basis and shows how much behavior can be manipulated by the right kinds of suggestions. The idea of the experiement was awesome. The four players are like caged rats, reactive to threats and manipulations and caught in an endless cycle. The acting was down-to-earth, believable enough for the disparate characters. All in all, a very promising writer and an ingenious director made the characters and the theme keep the audience spellbound!
