I really enjoyed watching this play in the theatre. it was much different seeing it in front of you from reading it. The stage and props were really good and everything suited the time frame that the play was set in. The actors where also really good and I felt  they fulfiled their role to their full potential. They really gave you a fee; of what their characther was like. In my opinian the music was a bit annoying and they should have left it out. Overall I thought the paly was really enjoyable but was a bit long.
