\"The Misanthrope\" was not similar to anything one might expect to see in a modern-day theatrical production. The dialogue was hard to understand as an audience member.

My opinion of viewing \"Once on This Island\" was that the actors did a good job in their parts but the play itself was poor. For the nature of the play, it was done as well as it could have been. The lead female singer, older Timoon, was very good in my but it was just a tough play to really make ...
