Some reviews....

We read the booklet of Virgins before we went to its performance on stage. The lecture itself was certainly challenging because we usually don’t do topics such as ITS but the students contributed vividly because of the very realistic issues the play tackles. The performance then was a real “treat”: the actors played so convincingly that we discovered even more aspects. In class then we remembered how stunningly Nick switched from a middle-aged father to a teenage rapper just by adopting a different intonation, gestures ...  we appreciated the professional presentation, and the students think that the play’s issues are just their world. Thank you for picking a play that reflects young people’s reality but that presents it in a kind of funny way at times. When Jack read Sadie’s letter and got her phone number students all around me sighed with relief and contentment. This alone proves that they all went along the plot with a lot of interest till the very end. Best regards and thank you to the excellent actors and actresses who managed to attract so many students’ absolute attention.

I make a point of letting you know that our students really enjoyed the performance of VIRGINS inLinz last week! They both liked the plot AND the acting performance. In addition to that the actresses and actors spoke very distinctly  - this was a real confidence boost to them! Thank you and good luck!
