This is a very poorly made film shown on a very small screen. At times the sound is so bad that the dialog is not intelligible. The acting is just as bad. I did not remain till the end.Written on Sep 11 2009

Warning - this is NOT the play. Instead we paid to see such a low quality taping we couldn't understand the plot. The sound was dreadful - booming, muffled, full of echo and ear-piercing when one particular character spoke.Written on Sep 11 2009
The acting was embarrassingly overdone and the script was too wordy. One monologue after another were rushed through making the poor sound quality even worse.
Sad to say we walked out.

This event was not what I expected at all.Written on Sep 11 2009
It WAS good, HOWEVER, I was expecting that based on the price ($25 dollars) I was getting to see a live theater performance!
However, when I got there, I was greatly disappointed to be seated in the audience in front of the stage and then have to sit and watch a VERY low budget, poorly lit FILM of the actual performance.
There were no voice overs done on the film, or very poorly done ones, so the microphones from the original stage filming made it VERY hard to hear what the actors were saying. I was straining the whole time to understand both the english and the spanish.
In my opinion, it was overpriced.
I did not pay 25 dollars to go sit and watch a ghetto filming of the play.
the play itself was GOOD. It was definitely good. but I would not go repeat this experience again.
