Theatre Appreciation



I've never been to a theatre before so this was all new to me. To answer it briefly, I did enjoy it. I thought it was a refreshing scene. The atmosphere of it all was great and I wouldn't mind watching another theatre production again.

The story is about an ailing father and his children. It revolved around the father's final days and how his children acted upon it, with his son, one way or another, slowly becoming a shadow of his father. The acting was amazing, you really felt the emotion of the characters, the despair, the sorrow as well as some funny moments within these serious scenes. All of which blended perfectly. Music was kept to a minimum and only played when the days or scenes passed in the production. The sound on the other hand was crisp because of the acoustics of the theatre. Every word was heard clearly. As for the production design, it could've been better, but it was satisfactory for how the story was portrayed. I just wish there were more locations other than the father's house.
