So far I've seen Scissors and Rock, and agree with your reviewers. Each is a good play in its own right, and it's easy to forget that an actor leaving the stage is dashing over to make an entrance in one of the other theatres. Reminded me of Stoppard's Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead except that Stoppard can rely on the audience being familiar with Hamlet so they don't need to stage it next door at the same time! Small audiences, sadly - still time to get in there if you haven't already booked. Am looking forward to seeing Paper this week.
Paper and Scissors were both superb both in acting and writing. Rock in my opinion was too wordy and dominated by one character which got rather tiring and boring but others obviously enjoyed it as it got a standing ovation from a large part of the audience. On all 3 visits the audience was disappointingly small. Come on Sheffield give it a go
On Saturday you can see them all in one day like I did, which is a fun way to do it.
I'm a bit confused as to how this works for the audience... do you only watch one of the three plays?
Saw Rock last week and going to Paper tonight. Brilliant idea, great acting, great story - Looking forward to seeing the rest of this world first.
I agree this is a very good review and i really enjoyed the plays. Very enjoyable and insightful experience
