I loved this play from the beginning to the end. It absolutely rocked my
world. The questions about reality and the ways in which we allow
ourselves to live out our realities are still not extinguished in my
mind. I love art that questions and makes sport of the art it is
portraying. I love it in poetry with Ars Poetica. I love it in film and
theater. The costumes were bizarre as these characters were supposed to
familial, but were dressed in costumes from different eras of time. I
especially found it amusing that the "silent boy" was dressed in a
futuristic costume that looked much like the "cockroach costumes" (nice
use of budgeting). I thought the computer screen as backdrops was
amazing and cost effective. But most of all the actors were amazing. The
step daughter and father were played flawlessly. The chilling
performance of the biological son was so great that it got cold in the
room whenever he was around.The producers part was "spot on" as a
producer/ director. I thought the mothers acting was slightly overdone
but overall the play was stunning. We could stand to see more plays like
this at Northridge. I would go to everyone.
