72 hours

That's exactly 3 days. And also happen to be the name of the play which I attended as part of hall 7. Boy was I treated to a magnificent display of artistry on the stage...

I have attended my fair share of plays and though I'm no expert, I can probably understand a little on how difficult to stage a production. The many auditions for the different parts, the scripting, the rehearsals, and generally all the effort put in by those involved requires a lot of commitment and passion. Without these attributes, the production would not be a success. Imagine the logistics involved in searching for a proper location, the marketing of the play and searching for the props. These are by no means an easy feat.

Anyway, more about the play. I loved the interlude music as they complement very well with the atmosphere and direction of the play. The actors and actresses were very good! They entered into their character zones naturally and brought out the unique characteristics of each individual character. Frankly, I felt the chemistry was there between the people on stage which was the primary reason that they slip into character mode pretty easily.
Kuodos to the production crew who coordinated the whole thing very well. The stage manager must have had a busy time. The make-up was great too. It helped bring out the features of the people on stage. The props crew also played an important part, bringing in and out all the props in the short time given. The storyline was engrossing and had a certain sort of appeal, bringing all the important things of uni life as well as incorporating the importance of forgiveness as an underlying theme. The lighting was spot-on, and I was amazed at the different effects they could come out with for example the lighting coming out of grilled windows as well as the night sky. I felt the colour tones were well-matched to the scenes.
Overall, congratulations to Prometheus 2008! Well done people!! Hall 7 rox!!!
Hope I have a chance to be involved in such a production lol.

Till next time, may hall 7 rock on! :-)
