Being late to the party, as our season tickets are in the later half of the second week, I won’t belabour the point… And Slowly Beauty…, now playing at the Belfry Theater is terrific.

It is the layers that are so poetic. It is not just the play within a play, it is thoughts within thoughts, lines within lines, it is hypnotic. This layering makes the play feel a little like life I suppose. The play is also self referential without being tedious or obvious, you are left with no explicit answers only insinuations about the nature of life…

The performances and production values were top notch for a small independent theater. The script, acting, set, choreographing and music (no it is not a musical) were all outstanding. I hope the rest of the season is as good.

If you’re in Victoria, BC or a version of this play comes to your local theatre go see it!
