Mike Smith

he one issue I have with the show is that everyone yells their lines. The biggest culprit here is Mr. Mowood, whose stage directions for Reg must have been YELL EVERYTHING! Even in normal conversation, the actors words hit the ears hard. I’m not sure if this was a sound problem or just the way the show is intended to be performed, but several people around us were visibly discouraged by the noise and left the performance. The show runs a little over 3-hours with intermission but could have been 30 minutes shorter without losing any of the drama. Sometimes less is more.
