Mad House Reviews

THIN AND UGLY
Bill Pullman in All My Sons was great. David Harbour was great in the Merchant of Venice. Both are wasted in this ugly, tedious play full of cliches. There is no wit, no substantive reflection, and no pathos. The characters are caricatures without any depth. The directing is poor. The set is unimaginative. The only bright spot is the performance by Akiya Henry. Do not waste your money on this unpleasant experience, in spite of what the theatre crowd tries to tell you. See the review in The Guardian.

VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING
I’m not sure what the critics who have gushed about this play actually saw. It certainly wasn’t the same play I saw this afternoon (28 July). Left at the intermission because the script was dull, devoid of laughs and, I am very sad to say, poorly delivered. Pullman was as menacing and abusive as a cream tea, and Harbour seemed to be rather bored with the whole affair. Don’t waste your money, get yourself a nice meal in Chinatown.
