Excellent! Fantastic use of mixed media. This was a well written play
on a couple of difficult philosophical themes that was kept light with well
written and well timed humorous moments. I saw this play several years
ago and it has been updated. The updates really added to the show. Great
acting by several of the cast members contributed to the fantastic writing
to make a truly pleasurable theater experience!

the play was funny. it could have been a little bit shorter though, but
overall it's very enjoyable. i especially like the flaming gay guys playing
old time religious people. they were really funny. i also like how the play
criticizes religion and our use of time

The comic timing and charm of the lead actress truly did make the hour and
a half somewhat pleasurable. Problem is, the show really shouldn't have
been an hour and a half. For some reason, the political intrigue element
seemed to necessitate the use of many tiresome and longwinded monologues.
The foppish young bishop was also fantastic. Overall, the acting was great,
the directing skilled, but the writing was mediocre at best. It tried to
delve into philosophical territory, but its reach exceeded its grasp. Its
farcical elements were better played than its vaguely insightful ones. For
what it's worth then, a decent time at the theater.
