“Throne of Blood”
I agree with some of the points that are made in the review and disagree with some others. The critique comments, “It essentially boils down to a lot of men charging back and forth across a mostly dark and bare stage in fancy samurai get-ups.” There was not much decoration on the stage except for the bricked wall at the back and the ghostly atmosphere.It wasn’t so The play was sort of slow and Of course the play was mostly a dark stage and characters running around like the critique mentioned. But the writer also mentioned that, “Those get ups, as I said, are beautifully designed by Stefani Mar and offer an eyeful of visual poetry to distract from the generally prosaic proceedings.” I disagree to this because the dress of the characters were very decent in the play. The dialogues and characters were very strong in the play. And the emptiness in the stage was mostly covered by a screen that showed the meanings of certain actions in the play. Overall, i disagree with the review in the NY times. The play wasn’t perfect but it is not that bad as critiqued in the review.
