Pass by..
No no no! I'm not passing by... I'm here to write a review.
'PASS BY' is basically a stage play/drama produced by UTAR Drama and Public Speaking Society. It was held on 27th August 2008 ( Wednesday ). This stage play is directed by the Vice Chairperson of the club, Choo Mun Bel, or better known as Belz.
Summary:
The story revolves around a triangular relationship with mixture of different character. Paul has a wife with 2 children, yet he is having an affair with another women who is very materialistic. He eventually bumped into his wife who is working in a jewelery shop and an emotional conflict happened between Paul and his wife and also the lady he is having an affair with. Paul left his wife with the reason that she was not there for him, eventhough his wife helped him pay off his debts from his previous bankruptcy.
Review:
The play in overall is interesting. The storyline is done in a flashback kind of way, and thus it is something considered fresh and new, so thumbs up for that. Different characters, ranging from flirtatious to firm, are well presented. Good effect of sound and visual. The play includes comedic characters which played their role well. Good presentation of expression in emotions from most actors and actresses.
However, the storyline is considered a cliche to most love stories. The ending could be a little more creative. Even so, the ending can be considered as a fine ending, acceptable. Certain details were left out. Although very minor, but should look into that. Grammatical errors should be corrected in the script. This play does not seem well enough for whole lot of grammatical errors, except for the character that portrays the fact that she does not know English that well.
Even so, I can say that this play is quite a success as it is able to engage it's audience in the emotions of the characters. I believe that they can be better the next time and good job to those who are involved.
Thumbs up still!
Rating: 3.5 - 4 ( 5 stars system )
