Tracy,
Enjoyed immensely this production and was inspired to write some thoughts on it on Groundviews. I wish Dilrukshi could have seen it with me.
Best wishes,

opening night…….. well the curtains did not open, but one thing for certain happened… the 6 actors on stage made me keep my eyes open and actually enjoy the whole play!! i usually lose concentration in the middle of the play, and do this often as a habit.. but this play was friggin awesome! there were times of laughter, times of sorrow and times of suspense.. it was a mixture of many emotions.. the six characters never saw each other during performance, but were always “chatting” with each other facing towards the audience.. and one thing i really noticed that the actors had taken their characters very seriously and had done a great job!
another reason that this play might have been a favourite to me is may be due to the fact that it’s a story light which is revolved around teenagers… and what actually happens in real life.. and the ability to relate myself in such situations..
hats off to the actors and the director! congratulations Tracy!
PS.. i’ll be coming the next two days to watch it as well!
