Big Ideas 7 – Write About Now

We found the evening hugely entertaining. The concept was new to us but it worked perfectly as each excerpt held numerous possibilities for development and discussion. The acting talent was most impressive and the dedication and commitment of the young company little short of inspirational. At least one of the pieces suggested a playwright with a future. Everyone involved with the project deserves our thanks and encouragement.

This was such an inspirational evening. Most particularly the acting was astonishing. The timing and the "off-camera" acting was impressive. Inevitably, we have an interest since one of the cast is in our family. But we are cruel and realistic critics. The range and type of subject matter alone would have been interesting enough. True, we didn't understand the excerpts entirely, but that was inevitable since they were always intended to be sections of a bigger project. This only inspired more post performance discussion and the expending of plenty of creative energy late into the night and the next day....and the day after that. It's wonderful that the Wolsey has such commitment to young talent...and how very talented they are! If this is the skill that can be discovered in this one small area of the country, one can barely imagine what, or who , might be lying dormant elsewhere across the nation. Raise a flag for the Wolsey and the Young Company.
