In A Forest Dark and Deep Reviews Round Up

[derevko_child]

I've compiled some of the reviews of the play. Most reviews praise the performances of Olivia and Matthew, but not so much on the writing of the play.

If you've found any new reviews, leave a comment and I'll add it to the list. If, on the other hand, you've watched the play and want to leave a review, just make a new entry. ♥

*CRIIIIES* I wish I lived in London. :(

Thanks for the compilation! I hope someone here has seen the play as well so that we can get a personal review of it!

Me too! I've been reading reviews and got snippets of how the performances were and the basic plot summary but I'd love a personal review on how the play was. I suspect it would be different coming from a fan of one or both of the actors.

I've seen some reviews by some Matthew Fox fans. It's very biased-- it's quite obvious they're fans of Matthew by the way they slathered praise on him and giving none to Olivia (I saw someone say that Olivia was miscast, but no reason was given. Compare that to a newspaper review that found it difficult to believe that Betty was promiscuous back in her teen years because she was being played by Olivia Williams. *shrugs*)

I can see slathering praise on a favourite actor (I've done it) but I find it pretty unfair not to mention the other actor. Especially considering that it's a two person play. Oh well, I'm sure a detailed and somewhat unbiased review will pop up sometime.

Someone thought Olivia was miscast because they couldn't picture her being promiscuous in her teens? Wow, that's pretty far into not being able to separate the actor from the character (oh well, it's not Olivia's fault that she is super classy and elegant). Although, I can only imagine what they thought of Adelle Dewitt in Dollhouse then, haha!

For anyone who's seen the play, what's going on in this scene?

I haven't watched the play and I have no idea what's going on in that pic, but I wanna go there. haha!
