While
I'd be the first to admit that I am no expert on Eugene O'Neill or
his writing, hence did not know the original piece Mourning becomes
Electra, I must say that this adaptation left me totally confused.
From
the outset with the film projected onto the back wall confused me
and once the three actors commenced with the live action the
situation became even less clear. The actors, Catherine Smith, Peter
Snee and Stephanie Mott seemed to either be whispering, or
screaming at each other, often at the same time, so as a
lot of the complicated dialogue was lost, this didn't assist in my
comprehension of the plot.
The
show was timed for an hour, lasted 45 minutes but even that was far
too long for me I'm afraid.
