Fiddler on the Roof

For the first night of the show, I thought the show went really well, even though there were some technical faults. I went to watch the show with a fresh perspective as I didn't know the storyline and was pleasantly surprised as I enjoyed the show very much. I thought that stage spacing could have been tidier however, as during the choreography sequences; I caught the actors bumping into each other and or objects on stage, which could've been remedied with rehearsals within the stage space.

The Others

I thought this performance was incredible. They managed to create a mixture of comedy and serious drama really well that I just sat there stunned. The choreography and the movement was amazing, especially the part when one of the actresses was reading a letter that looked like it was from a bird's eye view. The actor's performances were brilliant and overall i thought it was an exciting and original piece of theatre.

Under Milk Wood: Live on Air

Before I saw the show I didn't know what to expect as I had never heard of this play and had a sense that I would not enjoy the performance. However I was pleasantly surprised as I really enjoyed it. The first half was hilarious as I was constantly anticipating what the drunken sound woman would do next. Even though I found it hard to follow all the stories, I was still able to enjoy the performance as the actors were so captivating with thier use of voice that I did not care for the stories that much.

Masquerade

The choreography of thhis show was absolutlely amazing and I was extremely impressed with the skill of the performers. All of the routines seemed so perfect and fluid, my attention was constantly kept. However, I did not like the style of the masks they used for this performance as they made me feel uncomfortable, and I could see them using another style of masks that would have been more effective. My favourite part of this performance was when 2 female and 2 male perfomers did a synchronised sequence where their trust in eachother and expression was incredible.

The Nutcracker

Even though the I felt I shouldn't have been a member of that audience, I had so much fun I felt the biggest kid in that audience. The performers certainly made me laugh and when the toy war started, I was smiling and squealing like a little girl. The set was adorable, especially the set of the house which I thought was cleverly done. In general, a fantastic show that I could easily watch again!

Landscape and Monologue

I never knew the true meaning of monotone until seeing these two short plays. The female lead did not have variation to what she had to say and it seemed extremely boring, however I must exclude the two male leads as they captured my attention really well. It was great to see some raw acting and without the hype of special effects, but I felt it was lacking something.
