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 t... full review

It was a brilliant progress of the plot, starting with humurous and casual atmosphere, naturally building into tension, further progession into making audience to reflect about self, and the message spoken at the right moment. I was able to experience the well designed structure of the flow, reflecting how the writer was meticulous in every scene. Essential topics in theology and philosophy was well engraved in various conversation making the audience of both christians and non christians to think. Every scenes and conversations had a reason. They were all playing there roll to build sculptures of ideas, questions, and the essential world view of the writer. I was able to see where the writer was at in his life journey as wel... full review
