Interesting story with a strange ending
As I walked past though the big black door of the black box theater, the first feeling I got is a strong dissimilar. I had worked at the black box theater in the winter, so the change took place to the black box theater became really oblivious to me; the classical furniture compared to a spelling stage, the much powerful and cooler lightning, and I never know that the black box theater has such a strong air conditioner. Another thing that needed to be mentioned is-- Lots of couples sitting around me which create a big disturbing. I suggest the black box should separate the seat for couples and singles ! : )
The play began with a loud scary lightening, but didn’t frighten people like me who had already been warned. Then a expressionless butler walked in which creates the exactly right flavor for a murder mystery-- a dark lightning night for murder and a cold depress atmosphere, However, that kind of flavor didn’t last to long; why I forgot that this play is also a comedy! Ms. Flame Fondue successfully using her funny introduction acquired the first laughter for the play; till then the flavor of the play has been changed completely. Luckily, the scream of the actor and how they react when they found out that somebody died proved that this is still a scary murder story..Em..maybe a laughable murder story. After that, the actors start to found out who was the killer while solving the puzzle. Two highlights for me during the play is the mystery hand that turned off the light which I guess is Jack’s hand; also how Jerry and Buzzy react when they try to carry Lucretia, the cook is quite fun for me. I finally know why they turn the air conditioner so cold before the play started, because it was so hot and stivy during the play!
The most strange part I feel about the play is the ending. I can not understand why people act so normal under the gun; I can’t understand that if the Zita Van Zok is so magic and powerful, why didn’t she stop the murder at first; why she clear out the bullet from the pistol by her premonition at first, but didn’t have a premonition to the murder. They give out a lot of evidence and the changes between murders are rolling over and over. However, I think that the ending of turning the murder to frog make me feel that the writer didn’t have a clue to end the play. Therefore he choose to use the mystery and powerful gypsy using her unbeatable magic to end the whole story.
To sum up, it is a very fun play to watch, except the ending is a little bit crazy to me. The language is fine to me until they start to talk in another language... I recommend people to come and watch the play. Thanks the actor for such a nice show!
