Customer Reviews
65 reviews3.7Highly enjoyable. Really liked the interchanging of actors portraying the main family. Very much helped with the every person aspect of the Great Depression and other life travesties.
I was disappointed in this production - I do not think Arthur Miller intended the play to be presented in this manner. The pseudo-American accents were very difficult to understand at times and the production was far too long! However, the petite actress was extremely good with a lovely voice too!
The originality and creativity of this production were stimulating and exciting. Wonderful to have live music on the stage, where I was lucky enough to be sitting. A thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience. Loved it.So glad I booked as I was hesitant, but although disappointed not to see Clarke Peters, an old friend from wayback...Sule RImi was great, along with the whole ensemble.
Don't entertain me.... Move me!
Great performances by some of the actors and a nice, jazzy atmosphere.
Brechtian play from Arthur Miller - superbly acted and directed...enjoyed immensely
well written and performed. energetic and talented cast.
We were notified that the tickets were discounted and we were so glad we went. The admin was really easy and the play was brilliant!
LOVVVED it; great cast; very entertaining!
I could not follow the message behind the play, the music and acting was confusing and did not follow a specific consequence of events. I left after the first act.
Excellent production but not a great play though some what interesting.
Excellent production! I really enjoyed it all, especially the jazz.
