Very interesting, makes you think while reading and kinda confuses you but in a good way.

I honestly loved this so much. It was so much fun and so confusing and yet everything was making sense in a weird way. I loved reading that play and the ending when everything ties in together perfectly was simply awesome.

5 stars out of 5😄⭐️

I must say, this is one of the most interesting play's I've ever read or designed lights for. Although it does get a bit confusing in the script, the actors, stage and story progression truly help clear up the grey area. Making a surprisingly hilarious, philosophically complex, god mocking and surprisingly sexual play!

Though, besides many unclear stage queues, set designs and actor shenanigans (Though its only really footnotes) and the show being sexual and the worst goddamn times...

Its really charming, brings light to math and science in an interesting and humorous way. Its flexible enough for a group of Highschoolers to design, cut and reshape the script to their needs, and still being enjoyable.


TL;DR: I really like Sequence, did the lights for it, very rad, very solid play

Honestly, this started out great and I found the ending very satisfying. I think this is the first time I’ve read a copy of a play with director’s notes, and I always really appreciate the amount of creativity and experimental staging that happens behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, for ~25 pages after the halfway point, this just dragged. I found the philosophy repetitious, the dialogue increasingly self-gratifying, and the characters just a little too caricatured to buy. A lot of important things were set up in this section so I’m not saying we should cut it out, but maybe we should cut it down?

On an unrelated note, I’ve never seen acknowledgments done like this: Just by listing out the names. I think I honestly prefer it this way.
