Don't Dress for Dinner

Now playing in Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island.

Being in downtown, I decided to splurge a little and decided to go to a play--my time seeing a play on stage. The evening didn't start that amiably. I was totally lost after getting off the 98 B-Line, not realizing from the Translink map that Granville Island is UNDER the Granville Street Bridge. Due to the mishap, I arrived at the theatre late and was almost not allowed in. I have to say though, it was a pretty enjoyable play, but I'm not sure if I would feel the same if I had paid the full price instead of the half price. The script was full of wit and the set was great looking. The character of the Cook was my favourite: a quick thinking opportunistic bitch who is also a Cordon Bleu :). My only complaint is how packed and fast most of the play is. The resolution in the second act is like a machine gun; I wish it slowed down in certain bits so I'd have more time to digest the lines.
