What I liked
The acting was fantastic and so natural. Sometimes drama’s can fall into a trap of the actors, especially when it’s written by the actors, make the show about them, and a forced showcased of “their ability”. There was nothing forced and it served the story in a very beautiful way. You could feel the apartment they grew in even though we were in a black box theatre.What I didn't like
Sometimes the plot was a little predictable, as can be with sexuality tales, but the writing was so real, so human, and on the verge of poetic. I would wish some of the costume changes were a little faster, so we could get back to the story sooner!
My overall impression
The play begins in a completely immersive way, where you don’t know if it has begun or not. This group is not afraid of silences and making us sit in the silence with them, which I really appreciated. In such an intimate theatre Where The Roses Bloom is staged and written in a way that makes you feel like you’re a nosey neighbour peeking through a window witnessing this story of identity and discovery.
