Counter Offence

If plays are to be judged on a scale of one to ten this one is a fifteen. The script is topical, easy to follow, and performed flawlessly by each member of the cast not always attainable on opening night. The story is right out of today’s headlines and holds the interest of the audience for the entire ninety minutes. The message is loud and clear.
Although I won’t take time to describe each cast member, I can only say they gel and complement each other. However, my highest praise for Elyse Quesnel- Stage Manager and Zoe Roux- Lighting and Set Designer for the simplicity of the set design allowing the audience a view of a courtroom trial, a murder, and a jail questioning room without a change of scene in a one-act play.
Do not miss seeing it.
The play continues thru March 29
