many actors can do what these actors did during the show and I am sure that it took them a lot of practice to make it perfect.

Though I enjoyed the play and hold it in high regard‚ it seems to me that the artistic ambition of the director may have led to incoherence with its purest essence. Director of the play‚ Mark Sutch‚ made a questionable decision in his application of aerial silks‚ used to construe flying motion.
