Review a sketch:
The live performance that I watched:

Part 1: This comedy sketch is about a person living in an apartment in new york. Their house has many cockroaches and she explains her encounters with them. She mentions that as soon as she turns the lights on, they stop for a while and then run for lives while she takes out her shoes to kill them.
Part 2: There was only one character in this sketch. Her characteristics involved her to have a monotonous tone with a neutral facial expression. In the back, there was the montage that showed the title of the sketch, which started off with the lights off and it came on when she said "As I turn the lights on, they stop..." which I thought was quite interesting as it helped to emphasize on her words. Also, it was smart to start off with a blackout as the audience could focus on the title and also it gave them a chance to think about what the sketch would be about. Her position was mostly downstage, but their was a table in the center stage with a montage at the back which she incorporated with her performance at the end.
Part 3: I really liked how the sketch started off with the lights turned off. I found it interesting at is really made me think about what was going on, much like the alienation effect that we learnt in the previous unit, Epic Theatre. I also found it interesting to see how she was speaking for a few seconds telling the audience about the cockroaches without any gestures but it did not seem to bore me. I wasn't really sure about why she had a monotonous and an unusual voice though, but it could be the group's interpretation of the person that wrote the blogpost.
Part 4:
There hasn't been any reviews of the comedy sketch yet therefore I cannot determine if they were valid or not. Overall though, I liked this sketch quite a lot and I wouldn't change any bit of it.
