Feedback/Comments
I enjoyed this evening so, so much. I loved the story and story-telling aspect, really enjoyed the entirely voluntary audience participation aspect. It was intriguing and exciting, something different to experience. While it was a first performance/read for the actor, that did not detract for me. Can't wait to see the final polished performance on tour and to recommend it to my friends!!
A unique theatrical experience combining storytelling and audience participation in a novel way.
Engrossing from start to finish
Fantastic, loved it thank you.
The concept of merging ancient myth & present reality was a good idea but the performer not knowing his lines by heart & having to read from script in hand was too much to bear. It lost some of us in the audience. Learn ur lines & don't rely too much on the audience reading so much of the dialogue. They're not the paid actors! Please develop the show further. It has potential.
Brilliant interpretation of the ancient myth translated into the present day. Great story telling .
Excellent set up
story telling that hits right in the pit of the soul reminding us of what is important. Fantastic evening despite the kitchen being closed for meals.
Most enjoyable!! Thank you! :)
