…the play is thought provoking, often funny, sometimes sad and at the end quite frightening. Definitely it is engrossing.
The overarching theme is romantic love and familial relationships. In this rendering, there is also an emphasis on the importance of language, learning and memory.
Complementing the action on stage without distracting is an ethereal set designed by Melissa Bennett and brought to life by Scenic Artisan Samantha Reno. The set is both grand and minimal at the same time which is a feat within itself.
Overall, Rope is an engaging evening of theatre which showcases the fine acting talents of its students.
