The adventures of Brianna and Terrance got really rocky on Wednesday when we had to find our way to two separate theaters. We had our friend, Ashley, to help but, we still ended up running around the city and making the first show by minutes. The first show was Everyman. In my honest opinion, I did not like Carol Ann Duffy’s interpretation of play. I think it was dumbed down to be extremely relevant. They actually sang All About That Base by Meghan Trainor…That is just way to dating for a show, especially in today’s society. It’s dated even for when we saw it. I sat there for ten minutes and leaned to my neighbor to ask if we were in the right theatre. I couldn’t believe how she came up with that concept. It was not what I was expecting and took a great deal of imagination to put that together. The thing I did enjoy was how she made the play take place within the last few seconds of his life. That put it into a different perspective for me and made it easier to understand. I also really appreciated the lighting design. It was interesting to see how something would appear and disappear. That would take your attention away from small scene changes and it was hidden with music and crazy dancing…or bands. It was a very crazy show. I really disliked how much swearing was going on. It was very much unnecessary and a little offensive to think that would sound generally appealing to the public for the director. It’s degrading to our generation that we can be reduced to selfies and swear words. There were so many additives, it was difficult to tell what show I was watching. You could barely catch the original text in between flashy singing and poses. I don’t want to ruin any of the show, in case someone wants to see it but, it is not what you think it will be. We didn’t get any pictures for this performance because there was no intermission and because we got to our seats within two minutes of the lights dimming to begin the show. Here's a picture of Terrance eating a giant crepe.
