This is a great community theatre -- it was my first visit to it. Very intimate show -- the seats are practically on the stage. This was a nice production of what is one of my favorite movies. I enjoyed it and would see another production at this venue.
I enjoyed the play very much. Although, it was a bit slow moving. The actors were brilliant, their accents were spot on, and the set design was great!
I recommend seeing it.
I've seen the movie several times and it was a joy to finally see the stage production that inspired it. For fans of the movie, the stage show adds some context and character development missing in the film. As for the acting -- I wouldn't have believed these were California boys acting in the roles of Jamie and Ste. And in particular, the actress who portrayed Sandra was excellent -- really terrific.
