What I liked

A couple times when the women were sort of behind the men doodle cricket, I had problems seeing and hearing. It’s thrust staging, which can be difficult. Some of the problem may have been caused by my seat, although I was in the front. The women are small and can be easily obscured by the much larger guys (I had trouble spotting them when they were standing on DSR-USL angles).
I didn’t let this minor inconvenience stop me from enjoying the show; I just didn’t want any words to be missed.

What I didn't like

A wonderfully enjoyable theatrical evening. This was just up my alley because I’m a little fascinated with ghosts in theaters already. I had never read anything like that before, and I couldn’t guess where it was heading. that was a very creative piece of writing. This piece had a lot of depths; it had humorous, sweet, and tragic moments. The performers were all top-notch.

My overall impression

The feminist slant this piece adopted pleasantly surprised me. When the attractive young women joined the, um, less youthful men, I had a “oh no” moment. Fortunately, they have interesting stories of their own and everything was unexpected, rather than being there to swoon over the men. This is a creative piece that is expertly directed and gorgeously performed by a strong ensemble that chemistry.
