Hangmen (PREVIEWS) — Page 2

On Friday night it got out at 10:20pm (8pm curtain).

I attended last night's performance and found it occasionally exciting but sometimes a bit dull, and much less funny than it could have been. Maybe I caught an off night or the timing just needs to be sharpened during previews, since most of the UK reviews were quite positive. In any case, I would definitely give the show credit for having a strong opening scene and what seemed to me a creepy, effective last line. Even then, though, I wondered if a somewhat unsteady and overlong fade to black undercut it a bit.





SPOILER-ISH QUESTION



Was there meant to be a supernatural, familial, or other connection between the two characters who both have bad wrists? If so, any idea what specifically it might have been?

Does it seem like it got the flat-out raves it might have in London, but it's selling well anyway, so I don't think it will matter, ha.

Caught this last night and it was worth every penny of the $94 I paid to see it, Johnny Fry is giving a superb performance and I thought this was one of the funniest plays of seen all season. Hoping this still transfers at a later time so more people can see this phenomenal production
