“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.”
It was a bit sad to be sitting in
a half-empty theatre while watching this play, one of George Bernard Shaw’s "Plays Unpleasant". The thought that The Eliseo is going to be closed at the end of the
season, all those empty seats and what was said and performed on stage made me, in
the end, quite melancholic. The "unpleasant" in the title is not a random choice.
The cast was really good in the
hard task to involve the audience in this not-at -all –easy- to - digest piece.
You know, you can’t actually relate to any of the characters and you are
constantly disturbed by the harshness of one or the hypocrisy of the others.
