The 28th Minute—Asper Centre (U of W)

I was hooked on this show right from the get-go—really strong actors in a believable story that I could definitely understand.

Towards the end of the play however, things started to get a little muddled. It seemed like the actors weren’t certain of what they were trying to say, and the show boiled down to miscommunication as a plot device.

It certainly felt like 75 minutes, especially, towards the end of the show, and so much of it felt like it was padding out the runtime to be able to advertise a 75-minute show.

The actors were believable, the direction was very good, but it really needed an editor for those last 20 minutes.
