Well after leaving part 1 on a cliffhanger, I was eagerly awaiting part 2 and I wasn't dissapointed in the slightest!
There isn't really too much to say in the sense that the script has been put for two years and if you're like me, you would have consumed it immediately. Indeed the production company is aware of this and places a heavy emphasis on mainting the silence of some of the production, with thr hashtag #keepthesilence being employed.
And who am I to dissapoint?
I'll try to keepme thoughts to the production itself.
In no surprise, part 2 maintained the emphasis on both the aural senses as well as the visual; with the music playing a heavy part as well as the movements of the actors themselves.
In a play, in my mind anyway, one of the biggest challenges to the production is how does one change the (albeit scenery), while mainting the narrative flow. In a production like Priscilla, for example, great technical skill is achieved by using the bus on a moving wheel, as well as other lighting effects.
In Cursed Child not so. I found it interesting how members of the troupe did a lot of fluid movement but also engaging their costumes (usually a cape), to help "hide" the change in scenery. While one knows it's being done, it's quite an interesting thing to see in person.
There's not too much more I can say without spoiling it. What I can say is this- take a seat on the asile in the stalls.
Why?
