OK maybe. Not my favorite, but...!
Quite doable in the arena and easily cast. Based on the description, I was kind of rolling my eyes, but I was interested in the characters and the piece is well written and moves along nicely.
Stu
I'd like to keep it in the mix. We're reading so many British plays, that it might be a nice alternative. It would work well very easily in the arena and the characters are strong.
Nice. I was enthralled by all the characters. I like how it blended the scenes- flowing/overlapping right into each other. I was surprised by the ending. It has great roles for both men and women. Will it draw large crowds? I doubt it. I say keep it in the mix, but I think we should read his script "Moon children" because it has a large cast, so if it is as good as this script it will meet our standards, and hopefully draw a larger crowd with a larger cast.
Good roles for actors, but the characters and story don't do a lot for me. It strikes me as "Parent Trap" for losers.
Scenes flowing one into another was good. Yes would work well in the arena. Didn't move along, began to drag along. My vote is No.
I rather enjoyed this script - kept reading till the end. Strong character development and compelling relationships. I wanted a stronger ending, though. If I read it again I might find that the ending is okay. I agree with Jean about needing more non British scripts. So I say keep it in the mix.
