In keeping with tradition, and via a poll of 6 of us (less Eoin and De, I think), we came up with a rating of... ... ... 3.5 (as made no difference)!..
I thought it was (guess what, Eoin!) intriguing, but ultimately didn't engage. I was expecting a tragic but moral heroine, but by the end she just seemed childish and petulant. The production then relied for effect on stamping of feet, bright lights, an obvious Death.
I was thinking, too, that a play is not a place for musical motifs. But then, what's to become of Grieg's music for Peer Gynt?
Look what I found here...
...and now, triva time!.. the music.
- Alexi's theme: music by Zbigniew Preisner for Trois Couleurs: Bleu
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108394/
- Seriozha's theme: Spiegel im Spiegel, Arvo Part
- A bit of Gorecki's Symphony No.3 crept in towards the end
- Anyone know the dancing tunes?
So now... pipes in hand, matches at the ready!..

Now the only issue with this is as follows:
To choose a play to go to, do you now have to select plays which you know are going to be good but not excellent?
If we go to an excellent one which gets five stars, do you need to start a new blog?
