Had our closing night of this play yesterday and after months of directing and preparing, helping actors with lines, it was a 10/10 production. The writing in this play is so so intentional and meaningful. The audience laughed, and cried (Seriously some people were sobbing). I definitely recommend seeing this live rather than on screen. It was way more enjoyable (maybe also because I knew all the actors) however, I couldn’t get very emotionally invested as I was helping the tech crew with cues the whole time. 10/10 play, 100% recommend.

So so boring for like 70 mins which the ending does not make up for. Especially since it could have been even better if it stuck with the original version.
