300 word review of Others.

As soon as i saw the title of the play, i thought the piece was going to be a creepy ghost story and i was scared to walk into the theatre; However i was pleasently suprised when i was welcomed into a very warm atmosphere, from the second that i took my seat i felt at ease the actors were on stage already and i  felt like this was going to be something i would enjoy. The play used a wide variety of conventions to help put across the story in an imaginative and abstract way. lot was about a theatre group who were asking the public to fill out a questionaire asking them personal questions. They would then each find a person to be their 'Other'. Each member had an other who they would represent and tell the story of throughout.the piece. The use of movement and live music was an added convention which wasnt necissaraly vital to the piece but was something which made the performance shine that little bit brighter. The four person company worked fantastically together especially the three females. There were comic moments and moments where i wanted to cry the highs and the lows casued a mixed reaction throughout the audience but i personally thought it was a piece of art which captured the hearts of most. I think the idea behind the story was to give an outlook into other people's lives ( people who we wouldn't usually think about) They told the story of a girl who was in prison and a ladie of other ethnicity. It showed how people are predgudice against others because they are not the same as us. A very creative and clever piece and i hightly recomend it fot others to see.
