Urashima Taro
I was extremely unsettled by the puppets and was very uncomfortable during the sex scene. I did not know how to take in this performance, however the symbolism was beautiful. I did enjoy the use of the Japanese miniature paper theatre, but overall I did not like this performance.
Kupeng Kwa Hamlet
Definately something I wasn't expecting. It was entertaining and very experimental and fun, especially with the boiler suit costumes, minimal sets and the South African songs. However, I am still unsure if I liked this style in which Hamlet was portrayed.
Blithe Spirit
I did not enjoy this show as much, but I thought Alison Steadman's performance was hilariously brilliant. I also thought the set and costume were amazing, especially the red dress the female lead wore at the begining of the performance. There were moments that I that I was urging the acts to end.
Lilly Through the Dark
I thought this was the best show I have seen. The music, costume, staging, lighting and actor's performance was excellent. It reminded of a Tim Burton film, but overall a great performance!
Enron
Overall I thought the show to be well choreographed and the visual effects were great. However, I didn't really have that much of an understanding about the stockmarket so it was harder for me to enjoy. The actor's performances were well done but I felt the last ten minutes of the show dragged on a bit too long.
