Broken Pieces

See it if you want to see enjoyable theater and excellent up & coming actors.

Don't see it if really no reason not see this set of vignettes.

Also I found the first 3 of the 6 vignettes the best, meaning well written and acted. The second set of 3 vignettes didn't seem to belong to the other three. The 1st three were stories of love, loss, and finding in various modes. The final 3 were somewhat heavy-handed and though relevant to today's politics, they did not pack an emotional punch like the first 3.... Read more Read less

See it if You want to be totally entertained

Don't see it if You do not have a sense of humor and compassion

See it if you are interested in seeing a series of sharp, somewhat absurd takes on contemporary living & politics.

Don't see it if you want to see a traditional full-length play.

Also In “BROKEN PIECES” playwright Mateo Moreno (acting here as well) draws from two spiky traditions, the Theater of the Absurd & political sketch comedy, & the result is 5 short, appropriately outlandish sketches on the way we live now, plus 1 set in a totalitarian, dystopian future. The result is bracing & funny & sharp & political & enraging & sometimes heartbreaking. All the players appear in a few different pieces, & all get the job done very well indeed.... Read more Read less

The other three are good too.... Read more Read less

See it if You like short plays. This piece is actually six smaller, mostly non-connected, works performed one after the other.

Don't see it if You don't like shorter plays, violence or works that are not all interconnected, and lack resolution.

Also This piece is much like the title, six vignettes centering on different individuals dealing with broken relationships. Most don't resolve positively and at least two segments have simulated violence.... Read more Read less

See it if 6 brief plays with some insight and social commentary

Don't see it if you don't like short plays that don't connect with each other and some just don't make any point

See it if Enjoy clever social commentary using parody and reducti ad absurdum.

Don't see it if Want straight narrative.

See it if You like short plays there are six here and three of them are really really good.

Don't see it if You are looking for a full length play. Also three of the six are average at best

Also I know if you average my scores out below they won’t average out to a 75 but the reason I am giving this an overall score of 75 is because I really enjoyed three of these shorts a lot. I almost wish they would have only had three and instead of making them 10 minutes each make those 3 20 minutes each and gotten rid of the other three that didn’t particularly work for me. Even the three I didn’t like were watchable and it’s definitely worth your time to see the three good ones. here are my scores in order of how they were presented
1) 86
2). 45
3). 80
4). 39
5). 59
6). 84... Read more Read less
