Audio Review

Me and Emily discussing Ion

Ion

I didnt understand it. Although it was very creative and the acting was great, i felt that more of a traditional presentation would have complimented the storyline more.

Lydee

I felt that the story dragged although the acting was incredible and the characterisation was great as it was a two man show with the characters playing numerous roles.

R.E.D.R.U.M

The build up to this show only raised my expectations, and i was a little dissapointed. I expected it to be a lot scarier but due to the time of day i felt it lacked a little terror. It was meant to be disjointed stories which made no sense, but without the spectacular visual effects it felt very ammature. I also felt that a little more thought could have gone into the costumes, one girl was unmaksed and this spoilt it for me.

King Lear

A fantastic twist on the classic story, but remained true to the language. With a great cast of university students, i felt it was better than the classic story.

Evita

Woking's New victoria is a fantastic theatre space and although i had no liked Evita when i watched it a few years ago, i went open minded and really enjoyed the ambience. It is a really powerfull story.

Avenue Q

Fantastic!! The idea of puppets being crude when they are so childlike was fantastic, and the songs were great. Definately going to see it again!

Hippolytus

A modern twist on a Greek tale, which I appreciated but didnt like. The idea of modernising a play was taken too far, and at the end it was clear that there were space fills with pointless news reviews and etc.
