Theatre in English is composed of 4 British actors, the director is Paul Stebbings and he adapted the play with Phil Smith. We thought there were going to be many actors as there are lot of roles but there were only 4 and we can tell that their performance was incredible, they managed to speak loud and clearly, and their interaction with the audience made this play enjoyable. The plot was interesting and they tried to adapt it in order to please a young audience. It was a nice surprise to see that different music and stage effects have been used to create suspense and the use of costumes made it easier to recognize each parts. The sad bit is that they didn’t use many props.
