Abandoned Campus Theatre Company—The Playhouse Studio
This is an oft-seen setting where two estranged friends are bound together to spend time unraveling the conflict. I can summarise the totality of the plot in two minutes but the story takes 65 minutes to tell.
Despite the lack of action, I’m rapt for every minute of this show. The play reveals just enough at just the right time to keep you engaged and raring to find out what’s next. The denouement grabs you by the heart and squeezes, refusing to let go until the lights come on.
The poetry can get a bit corny sometimes, and at others, it’s recited a bit too quickly. Slowing the verses down a bit would give the audience more time to digest the meaning behind the words and fulfill the 75-minute allotment. Nevertheless, this is still an engrossing story that I am very happy to have seen.
