Review??
Tue, 17 May 2005, 03:50 pmWas wondering if anyone that has seen new BSX show 'The Visit'. It would be good to get some insight into what people thought. Cheers

I have just returned from a performance of The Visit.
It was a night of great Theatre, performed by a talented and enthusiastic cast under the direction an innovative and inspirational director.
This production could need a couple of visits to fully appreciate. Never has so much been done by so many for so few. And it was the "so few" that was disappointing.
Performances like this deserve full houses. That they don't get them is an indictment on Perth's ever-whingeing so called "theatre going public" who keep on complaining that Perth needs more theatre venues. What for? So that productions like this can play to half full houses. Perth's so called "theatre going public" deserve nowt' if they cannot support the youth theatre of the city in productions that engage as much as this one does.
Congratulations to all concerned; how refreshing to see a cast list of twenty two players all great, with outstanding performances from Michelle Fornasier and Brendan Ewing. And Matthew Lutton continues to dazzle, challenge and please with his direction.
I will be back for a second viewing to take in all that I missed in my first visit, and I will be urging all of my "theatre going" friends to fill the bleachers with their butts!! This production must play to full houses! It deserves nothing less.
