Often musicals or plays that deal with highly emotive subjects can be accused of taking themselves too seriously and run the risk of becoming pretentious. The problem with the new musical 'Imagine This' is that it perhaps does not take itself seriously enough. Set in the Warsaw Ghetto during the winter of 1942, where a group of Jewish actors attempt to perform a musical play about the last stand of the Jewish Zealots at Masada in 70 A.D., it has the potential to be a genuinely powerful piece of musical theatre. But the world premiere production at the Theatre Royal, Plymouth fails to achieve that potential.
