I do wonder how you will feel about the original text now you have experienced that interpretation of the play's ideas? I'd love you to follow up and let me know if reading the text post show does enrich the experience further? I can't escape my own burdening context and knowing the play as well as I do- and being very familiar with several homages to the self-referential idea of text and ownership (including a play I short listed for Spankers last year)I felt it was nothing to write home about... but above all else- I love it when people have a good time at the theatre (even when I don't)!

I loved it! I don't know the original play at all, so this was my first exposure to the text. I found it to be a wonderfully theatrical experience about our sense or identity, reality, why (or perhaps how) are we on this road called life. It was wonderfully self-referential about it's own story telling devices. What is character? Who is an author? Who is the author of the words we utter, and are we the ones who speak the speech. I would go again! I now want to read the original text to enrich the experience I've just had further. I’m going to say it… I loved it!

I now want to read the original text to enrich the experience I’ve just had further.

It hadn't occured to me that it was pretentious...(I think the point of Pirandello was to expose pretentiousness in storytelling and process) but it had occurred to me that it was boring.

The words I would use are patronising, overwritten, lazy, arrogant and shoddy. And the opening to the second half is possibly the weakest scene I have ever seen in the theatre.
