 | Did we see the same play? I thought the performance was engaging and entertaining. The Viewing Room offers an interesting take on a potential future which isn't so far from the way the US runs prisons and executions. Any racsim under pinning the play is a social comment on the massive disproportionate number of black prisoners in the US prison system and the difficult issues is raises. I felt the performances from the cast were strong, Leonard Roberts managed to really dominate from his cage adding a real sense of tension to the theatre. This is clearly a play that will improve over the run like a fine wine. I would certainly recommend going to see it. Fans of Leonard Roberts are in for a treat. A great night out that raises some interesting issues as well as a few surprises! - Peter Johnson | 11 Mar 08 |
