Fabulation

Henry and I went to see Fabulation: or, the Re-Education of Undine at the NeXt Theatre. It was really good. I’m really glad that we to see it. It was a preview show and they asked for our feedback at the end. I was happy with almost all of it. The acting was absolutely amazing – a small cast to handle many different characters. The sets were also great – props that doubled as a set and worked for many different locations. The plot had some important points about identity and self-discovery as Undine finds herself somewhere that she never expected to be.

I did have some problems with the main character addressing the audience at some points. I don’t mind this tool – it can be very effective, but there were a couple of instances where I thought that it was a bit much.

However, the drawback was very small compared to the greatness of the play.
