    Painful performance overall. #7, couple/piano, I'm clueless as to what it was about; lacked clarity.

    I'll chock this performance up to some challenges all around but ultimately not my favorite of the slices for sure. What I felt were all actually interesting ideas in theory in many cases were not executed through the actual writing, acting, and directing. In some instances the over the top acting detracted from the plays, and in others the repetition of the writing (which could easily have been fixed with even minor editing) detracted from an otherwise enjoyable acting performance. That said there are an assortment of genres, topics, and abilities here that the Pear is great about highlighting, and you are likely to find some bright spots that appeal to you. I very much support the ideas in these plays as being worthy of experimenting with but I felt many of these, for whatever reason, were still in an unpolished state. Collapse
