This was an excellent production – every person in the ensemble was so polished. The comedic timing was really tight and the physical movement – from the point we entered the auditorium – was strong, and clever and got us instantly engaged.The audience laughed out loud time and again during the ‘play’ – there were some super funny lines delivered impeccably. The ‘slow motion fight’ scene was stand out brilliant. Good luck to this young theatre company; one to watch.
Such a well-deserved nomination. Those young people bought so much joy and energy to a very absurd piece of theatre. Bravo!
We thoroughly enjoyed watching this funny and entertaining absurdist piece. The choreography was impressive throughout and the performers brought a young and exciting energy to the play. Congratulations!
I saw this! Such a wonderful group piece of theatre from such young performers –
It was so good I went a second time and it was even better! Definitely worth the nomination! A talented group!
Wow, what an absolutely jaw-dropping showstopper of a performance. Simply mesmerising from the absurd thematic motifs provided by the fabulous musicians, Annie & Louisa to the satiric and masterful performance of the poet, Luc. And what’s more, this group consists of nine 16 and 17 year olds!
It was a fantastic show, and well worthy of an Offies nomination.
A well deserved nomination! Well done to all involved.
Great to know the drama flame still burns bright at Rugby.
Spectacular absurdist take on one of my favourite pieces of literature. It is absolutely fantastic to see such talent and dedication from young performers, I wish them all the best in their futures (which will undoubtedly be filled with many more successes).
Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your sanity because I just witnessed a performance that was so mind-blowingly, earth-shatteringly unique that it left me questioning the very fabric of teenage existence!
I’ve got to give hats off to the blonde girl with the saxophone. Oh boy, where do I even begin? Blonde locks flowing like a golden waterfall of musical confusion, she expertly wielded her saxophone like a magic wand casting a spell of bewildering notes upon the audience. Truly, a musical prodigy in the making.
In conclusion, this performance was an avant-garde masterpiece that shattered every convention known to the entertainment industry. It’s as if the director raided a costume shop, handed instruments to random passersby, and yelled, “Go create chaos, my minions!” And that blonde girl with the saxophone? Truly amazing. Bravo! *wild applause*
Fantastic play, me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed it. I particularly liked how they incorporated music into their absurdist piece- the blonde girl on the saxophone was INCREDIBLE, refreshing to see that sort of talent in young performers.
