THE ORPHAN OF ZHAO

This play showed the politics of life, politics of power, and the sour feelings towards each other when one is in power. This was played by the actors very well. In a very neat n I should not 4get to mention the word "SUBTLE" n "MINIMAL" for their way of performing. There was no extra or superfluous action done, every thing was very precise n so the same I would say 4 the music, which was also explicit. There were maximum 2 to 3 instruments used; the drum n another string instrument. They used a very novel way of showing war on stage; just one action tells the killing of the other, nothing was overdone.
The set design; the chains n half done wall of the Kingdome, though was very suggestive but worked, I mean if u just look at set u can have an idea of what’s on.
Their ending image was very attention-grabbing; there was a coffin n a man sitting still beside it, under the broken wall of the Kingdome and there was a spill of red light all over.
