What I liked
I THOUGHT THE ACTORS WERE REALLY INVESTED. THE INDIA STORY MADE ME THINK OF A RECENT SOUTH DELHI EVENT IN THE NEWS WHICH WAS A REMINDER OF THE HORROR OF ONE’S VULNERABILITY UNDER UNEXPECTED PHYSICAL ASSAULT. AND HOW SOMEONE REGRETS THEIR POSSIBLE WARNING PRIOR, THAT COULD’VE MADE THE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR AVOIDING THAT DEEP FOREVER-HURT FROM SURVIVAL.
What I didn't like
I WOULD’VE LIKED THE TWO BYSTANDERS SITTING TO BE MORE IN THE DARK OR OFF STAGE WHILST THE STORYTELLER WAS RELIVING THEIR STORY. THE VISIBILITY OF THE OTHER 2 ACTORS SOMETIMES PULLED MY ATTENTION AWAY, ALBEIT IT VALIDATES THE STATE OF ALL 3 IN IT TOGETHER.
MAYBE SEEING THE MOVEMENT OF THE ACTORS BEING USED MORE BROADLY WITHIN THE SPACE WHILE REMINISCING WITH OR WITHOUT THE CHAIR USAGE ONSTAGE MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO SEE EXPLORED TO WHERE IT MIGHT TAKE US MORE VIVIDLY?
IDEA: THE ALIEN MIGHT WORK AS A BOOMING OFFSTAGE AND ALTERED VOICE BETWEEN IT’S PERFECTED ENGLISH—-THE FACEGRAPHS WERE A NICE TOUCH.
My overall impression
I FELT RODNEY NUGENT’S “LOST VOICES” FLOWED NICELY. I CARED FOR EACH CHARACTER’S MONOLOGUE WHICH WAS MOVING, AND SAD. THE CHARACTERS WERE PORTRAYED WITH INTENSITY. THE ALIEN-LIKE CAPTOR WAS A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT TIMES AND FELT STRETCHED.
I REGRET I MISSED ROBERT GARDNER’S “DEATH UNIT” PLAY DUE TO AN UNTIMELY TRAFFIC DELAY AND NO LATE SEATING ALLOWED.
