Paper Jack

Venue 6 – Tom Hendry Theatre at the MTC Warehouse

 

This play is a love story about the daughter of a merchant who comes to a village and falls in love with Paper Jack. Unfortunately, Paper Jack’s emotions control the weather and the passion he feels results in drought and hardship for the residents.

 

This is a really beautiful play that even makes the audience think – it is fair to put our own individual self interests (love) ahead of those of the community. I also liked how this production incorporated song and dance into this show. Unfortunately, I often had trouble hearing the actors. I think the music should be turned down and I think the actors need to turn their bodies slightly towards the audience even when they are talking to other actors.
