“The Woman in Black” ghost play at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Slow start had me planning to leave at intermission but it morphed into a chilling, haunting, edge-of-your-seat, scary, suspenseful, spine-tingling, gothic thriller. Great use of light, sound, & 2-person cast.
Dinner theatre play adaptation of “Jitterbug Perfume” at Cafe Nordo. Too many motifs, stories, & eccentric characters made it hard to follow. Immortality & aromatic perfection were alluring central themes though. #MardiGras
Watched the slow 3-act play “John” w/ Eyal at ArtsWest. Random & plotless … but very detailed set. Many promisingly ominous moments ended up anticlimactic or unresolved. The highfalutin critical appeal is lost on me. #NotAFan
Closing night to “The Clean House” comedy play w/ As If Theatre Company. Maid character was too obsessed w/ jokes & tries too hard to be funny. Liked the neurotic sisters (the doctor & the one like Bree Van De Kamp).
Sold out “Death of a Salesman” matinee at Slate Theatre. Slow-moving play about the American dream, success, & the reality of mediocrity. Not quite sure why it won the Pulitzer Prize & some Tony Awards.
