1 Kerry Engel (of engine28), a reviewer for The Arizona Republic:
“The best was the rape and murder as leapfrog scene.”

2 Walter Ryce (of engine28), staff writer at Monterey County Weekly:
“I thought the choreographed dance-rape scene was poetically brutal.”

3 Tim McCarty, Artistic Director of Quest Visual Theatre (Maryland):
”Any scene without text.”
When pressed to select just one scene he chose “the brothers’ violation/mutilation of their sister.”

The first three respondents concur. The remaining 2 have other ideas.

4 Tony Frankel of Stage & Cinema:
“The opening of the family at the table with the large video projected behind it was the most visuallly exciting. But the rest of the show couldn’t live up to it.

5 Kathryn Osenlund (me) (engine28 and CurtainUp.com):
“Best visual was the soldier dance. Five soldiers with guns, wearing camouflage fatigues dance against a bright red backdrop.”
There's so much heat being generated in the Engine28 newsroom, it can't be contained in actual, ya' know, real stories. So the e28 blog is here to take up some of the overflow. You'll see our selection of what's worth reading in other publications and blogs, short hits on things that caught our attention, and some spin and polish on stories we've grown to care about. Or not... You be the judge.
I saw something different with this on another blog. Youve obviously spent some time about this. Congratulations!
