More details here<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

I also went for The Shape Of Things<\/a>, as a reviewer for Xfresh<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nI’ve already written about it here<\/a>, so let the pictures do the talking.<\/p>\n


\nProper drama in a play, for once! After all those philosophical meaningful thought-provoking plays come this, a play whose meanings do not need a toilet seating to understand. Do you go to plays to watch them orate puzzles… or perform and be entertained? A lot of meaning was obvious, though deeper thoughts might reveal more. Was the surprise twist at the end out of spite?<\/p>\n


\nEve plans to deface a painting, and the nerdy security guard Adam tries to stop her. While the play was about love, there was a underlining parallel reference to art, like in lines like:
\n“When Picasso took a shit, he didn’t call it art. He knew the difference. That’s what made him Picasso.<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\nMaybe he’d be able to, with such a rifle (shown outside, in set designer Jia Wei’s garage clearance<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nMeanwhile, Eve breaks Adam in<\/i>. Conversation is natural and not staged, with proper dynamics and pacing. Phew. Some of the other plays I’d seen were like 10-minute grindcore songs. (Grindcore songs are under 2 minutes for good reason.)<\/p>\n


\nKinky with cameras.<\/p>\n


\nHowever, while she managed to shape<\/b> him into a good-looking, confident man, she failed to control his loyalty. On the plus side, she successfully changed a man<\/b>… while on the minus side, he went to the woods<\/i> with his roommate’s fiancee. <\/p>\n


\nWhile the drama may seem exaggerated, we probably know someone who has gone through that.<\/p>\n


\nSome, myself included, may be able to relate to some of the characters in the play at any one time. There was also Two Inch Paperheart<\/b>, who played U2-like background music in between scenes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
