Well, it wasn’t what I expected. I’m kind of glad I didn’t actually get a lot of people to go, because the play I sold was not the play it was. There were a few funny things, but not many — and certainly not in satire terms.

Still, for what it actually was, it was really good. Excellent choreography, brilliant timing, great use of AV equipment and the club space, and they even managed to make the play watchable from seats that surrounded the ’stage’ (actually the dance floor + the stage of New City) by around 270 degrees. It also really played out a storyline with the pacing and structure I’ve come to expect of actual Anime films. It seemed like a cross between Ghost in the Shell and Paprika. I’m not a big fan of that plot structure or pacing, but this got it all bang on.

Apologies to Brenna and Rachelle, who did not end up staying for the whole thing. I do wish I’d known better what it was going in.
