The Devil’s Circus
The Wishes Mystical Puppet Company—Rachel Browne Theatre
If I’m honest, (and normally I am), I was hoping for something more. The idea was an interesting one, a re-telling of Orpheus and Eurydice with a slightly different ending, and in a circus hell-scape, and that sounded pretty cool.
Unfortunately, the execution was lacking some. The show itself felt less like a story, and more of a showcase for the puppets, operated by one man and one woman.The show itself was slow, and felt like it took second place.
The puppet work was very good, and there were certainly some interesting puppets to look at, but it was executed slightly awkwardly, and had a hard time keeping the audience’s attention.
