Post Marion Bridge

Hello theatre-ites,

This show felt like a serious case of déja-vu. Our past experiences are said to influence our perception of any new experiences we have.  Mine was influenced by a play I worked on last year. Crimes of the heart by Beth Henley  has similar plot and characters to that of those found in Marion Bridge. Three sisters reunite to cope with the bedridden state of a family member. Tho the characters were going through different things they are similar archetypes.

I thought the acting was stellar, the set was minimal yet well done and the jokes were quick witted. The only thing I didn't get was the transitions, they seemed overly complex and I didn't think they added anything.

Overall I enjoyed it but I couldn't help but feel like I've seen it all before.

Have an awesome rest of the semester.and good luck on exams.
Elyse
