 | Terrible, thats 2 hours I'll never get back! The writing isn't so bad but the acting is awful. I disagree with the reviewer Mariam Haque and Youkti Patel were two of the worst performances in my opinion. It was like watching a bad amature dramatics production. You could barely hear or understand what was being said. Balvinder Sopal being particularly hard to understand. You couldn't tell if she was speaking English or Punjabi. Rina Fatania is the only one worth watching in this god awful production. But if I was you I'd save your money. - Raj | 18 Aug 10 |
| A missed opportunity: a good idea badly executed. There's no sense of the claustrophobia of the original nor the intensity - the cheap set doesn't help - nor does the writer veering between attempts at profundity and contemporary realism (facebook, etc). Some of the acting is am-dram and it's hard to accept these characters as being one family. I've enjoyed productions by this company before and hope for a return to form soon. - dgr1 | 10 Aug 10 |
