This video certainly does not sell me on the play. I know from reading the script and seeing the film that this is a good play, but this lacks a lot, or the video makes it seem as if your production of the play lacks. I also feel the set was too black, as it was filled with chalkboards, and I wonder if the video was of everyone in costume or not because most of the pieces, except for Hector and Irwin's seemed out of place. Also, good catch echelonslostangel.

It is actually at a dress rehearsal about two weeks before the performance so, no it is not in full costume.

There is actually also no stage lighting at this point either.

Thank you for that information. I will take a slightly different approach to my evaluation of this production then.

Those accents are apalling! The boys are supposed to be from Sheffield! I've never heard accents like that before, let alone in Sheffield!
