This sounds like an interesting show-- even more so because the review sounds purposefully vague and abstract, just like the show seems to be. I think plays like this can be an interesting lesson in how to distance your audience so that they feel slightly on edge and uncomfortable without completing alienating them and making them lose interest. While I liked the idea of the set being just randomly placed objects that close the actors off from the rest of the space and confuse them just like the audience is displaced, I also think it would be difficult to not make the stage look too busy or chaotic. The note about not being sure whether or not audience participation was part of the show was interesting, because it can be difficult to know that kind of thing as a audience member and difficult to convey as a part of the show without making it seem too contrived. Overall, while this show sounds interesting in exploring the audience-actor relationship throughout a nonrealistic piece of theater (as the author says the plot became less abstract and the audience more engaged as the play went on), I'm not sure if it would hold my interest well since it started out being so intangible and nebulous.
