Rock Apocalypse - Perth

I am a friend of the cast..and wanted to say a couple of things. Yes I am fully aware that this play went for 3 hours and no it wasnt the best play in amatuer theatre that Ive seen. Personally I thought it was a bit to long for amatuer theatre and not hugely engaging for the audience.. BUT before you go bagging it off, a lot of hours and effort were put into that show. Personally I dont think I could have remembered all those lines and words myself. I agree at times that the cast werent really projecting it to the audience as much as what they could have been and it may have seemed at times that they were having all the fun. I thought that the lead roles of Ash and his partner were well played considering they had so many lines and words to remember. If you going to bag a show you should really say what it was and use constructive critisim to support your arguement for the cast to learn from. I thought the over head projector and the lay out of the stage was good. I liked the live band.. It beats having a cd sometimes. I thought the computer thing with all the wires was wellmade. And even though there were many things that could have been improved and bearing in mind that I was there on opening night when all kinds of things are prone to going wrong in any play, if you were there then you would have realised that you were thier for support of your freinds and that is the main thing. I think the play had a lot of potential but would have been a bit more easier to view if it had been shortened and a bit more fine tuning.. Well done to the cast for the persistance and time and effort that they put into it.. THis show is just one of the shows I have seen by JETS crew and I can say that I have enjoyed past shows that I have seen. I just hope I havent upset the person that I care for most in the show. He knows who he is...xxx
