Nightmarish, edgy, beatiful, and...
Torn Space Theater's new season opening show Mud just received a four-star reveiw (http://www.buffalonews.com/gusto/theater-reviews/nightmarish-8216mud8217-repulses-and-oddly-attracts-at-torn-space-20140327) from Ted Hadley on GUSTO! "Love it or hate it", Hadley worte, "read into it what you wish, is nevertheless what live theater is all about. The play instructs you, changes you, repulses you, moves you, oddly attracts you".
Indeed. Although "nightmarish" is the word that Hadley used in the title, more thoughts were inspired as we collected feedbacks and gathered ideas from our audience. We are stunned by the variety and creativity of our audience and we now share some of them below:
"Unsettling, isolated, cruel, hopeless". One audience left these phrases on the survey sheets. "...But eerily beautiful."
"Great use of space and lightening."
"Enjoy the videography, especially the images of the words, seemingly passing through the characters's minds"
How about the characters? Lloyd gets a lot of applause and sympathy. Mae, "she has zero strength and I want to punch her in the face."
"...The counterpoint Henry played to Lloyd and Mae was a perfect balance in a difficult character study."
...
And we believe there are much more to say about Mud and we want to hear how it has "repulsed and oddly attracted" YOU.
