This show was one of the greatest show that I ever attended for several reasons; however, it has some negative thing as well which I’ll explain more why I liked this show and what is the positive and negative things in this show. The acting was perfect, and it felt me like I’m in a real play which there is no minute that make me to think I feel bored cause of the play. Specially, the actor Thomas Heppler which his name in the play is Michael and he was the husband with his wife living a good life and he was acting like a he is in the real husband life. I was very involved to this; also his voice was very good and clear like an old man voice which is same in the play and his gesture was great as well, and his role was believable as well. However, there is girl here name is Aubrey and her name in the lay was Abby her acting wasn’t that good cause while she is playing the game she is laughing a lot which is out of the game and that make the play weak cause it moved me out of the play. Also, her voice wasn’t make sense to me or maybe to the audience cause I can’t hear her voice in some points which is make me confuse of how to understand the play; moreover, her role wasn’t believable. I don’t think the scenic design help me to set the mood cause it was very simple and there is a lot of stuff which they need in the play is not even in the theater. For example, when they act they are in the bar which is Michael and Abby when they went to the bar to see each other without his wife known, it was represent in the same room which is in the same area that his wife pretend in the house and they are in the bar which in other words there is no enough space in the theatre. Furthermore, the costume design help a lot to define each character which I think also it’s the most successful things in the stage cause the design was prefect for each character and it helps me a lot as international students to understand the game from the first like 10 min. well I believe the lighting it wasn’t good at all cause it helps me not for focusing at all and I felt a sleep a couple times during the show cause of the lighting. And I think its untidy which also it didn’t help to set the mood for each scene in this show. Furthermore, it wasn’t all the elements of the production create a unified whole cause I feel there a lot of stuff missing in the show like when they represent that they are in the bat there wasn’t even miscue in the show or any light that like they are in the bar, there was only a table and they were standing at it and talking to each other. Whatever, this show has some of positive things which is like the actors Michael and his wife they were a very good actor and I felt like am in real show between two people living their daily life. And the negative things that I noticed like the place that they did the show in it wasn’t ready at all for the play cause there was a lot of stuff missing and the light wasn’t good enough which led the audience to feel a sleepy. Also, the third actor wasn’t a good, she was laughing at some points which is she supposed to be angry in the play, and in the end, I really liked this show.
