WHAT IS HORROR THEATRE?

Hear What A First Time WildClaw Patron
Thought After Seeing KILL ME
(Read the whole article)

"When the play ended (70 minutes with no intermission), I turned to Suzanne and she enthusiastically said, “That was GOOD!” I wasn’t surprised. The acting in this play was superb and I could see all of these players having a bright future. Their performances were so perfectly synchronized, the audience literally becomes lost in it; the veil between stage and viewer slowly dissipating. I had assumed this was only possible in a film (where lights and production features are hidden from a camera’s view) and was ill prepared at how wrong I would be.

In fact, in many ways, the “Live” aspect made it even more effective. The dialogue was gripping – providing deep, psychological insights that most all of us feel but few can articulate. Many of us admit a fear of death, but how many of us can truly grasp what immortality would actually mean? These are the kind of questions the audience is forced to confront when watching KILL ME."
