you are as complicated as a colouring book
the mark of a good play
leaves its imprint on the corners of a street five blocks away;
"so was he really gay? did his parents really have no idea? is bullying so rampant?' questions discussed even while the theatre was no longer within sight.
brilliant themes; an interplay of textures through riveting dialogue.
no need for multiple scene changes; the main set was executed with such precise detail one wonders how it's possible to create a patio (complete with a water feature and accompanying mood lighting) indoors?! on a stage?!
then comes the complex layers - the audience first tries to place what's going on at this seemingly normal dinner. only to realise it's not normal when there's a place set at the dinner table for someone who has passed on.
tensions rise and anger is spat out in harsh words, in the name of grieve and loss.
i liked how towards the end, i started pitying the boy who was supposedly the 'perpetrator' of all the bullying which caused Joel to end his life.
moral of the story: there is always more to what appears to be the truth on the surface; so don't judge.
