I think that the overall performance of 'Devil in Drag' was very good and everyone had achieved a high standard of acting. One of the best aspects of the performance was the characterisation. Everyone, although some playing the same characters, had developed their character in their own way and had put personal details into their performance, which kept the performance both consistent and engaging. People had really taken on the role of the characters; people who were complete opposites to their characters gave a convincing and entertaining performance making me believe in the characters and the stories. I also like how they got the audience involved; either by directly addressing us or getting us up on stage. I thought one of the most impressive aspects was how well they pulled off the comedy aspect of the play. When doing comedy, if the jokes hidden in the lines are forced, it becomes boring and loses its humour. However they didn't do this at all. I feel that the comedy was delivered professionally and affectively. I was also impressed with the mature manner in which they conducted themselves. Boys playing women, didn't hold back because of embarrassment, they went full out which made the character more believable.
The only aspect that could be improved is that the play was quite long and I felt some of the scenes could've been cut, which would perhaps make the play flow better.
Overall I thought they captured the genre of the play well and performed it to a very high standard. I enjoyed watching it as an audience member and forgot that is was fellow peers I was watching and completely believed in the characters they were playing.
