This is a highly symbolic or representative play, in that each of the characters personifies a sector of society or a philosophical ideal. Each actor brings their character into sharp relief. The costumes, the staging, and the posture of the characters work together to subtly evoke the aesthetic of Soviet propaganda posters. Most of all, it’s funny. This class is working together well as an ensemble; they’re obviously comfortable enough as actors and with each other to pull off the interwoven rhythm of the text. Half of the humour is in the text, but the other half is in the timing, and they’ve got that very nearly perfect.
