Important
This show should not have happened, it put the actors in an unsafe position without their knowledge or consent, and upon reflection I don’t believe the conclusions I wrote below are valid and could alternatively have been portrayed in a traditional art-form.
Like lighting a real fire on-stage and soaking the actor in real petrol and portraying it like a fun interactive improv show for the younger kids (who did react as such, despite the suicide content).
Seeing people I care about in genuine distress was not cool.
How did the show as a whole make you feel?
Conflicted, but thoughtful. Were it another setting I may have interrupted.
What did you think it was about?
Political dissent, against a system of conformity and alienation of going against the grain. A grain born of tradition over sense. And a warning of the effect speaking up will bring. Hidden cleverly within a viral play. And the value of a life worth living.
What was your most memorable part?
The point where the script became real to the actor. There is a clear change to their behaviour.
Did you fall asleep?
No
Any notable mentions?
Tom's Ostrich impersonation was particularly good.
