Comment on The play – Psychosis by Hui Ling

I do not think that Psychosis is a bad play like what Hui Ling suggested. Although I do not fully understand the message of the play, I do think it is still an interesting play due to other aspect such as the cast, the interesting stage which is not only a square stage’ it is all over the place. The actors have to run around the stage, sit next to the audience and even at one point, Susan Lancaster was pointing towards me as if she was talking to me. I really enjoyed that (being a star for a few seconds).

As for the lighting, I do think dark darkness is appropriate as the story line matches it. I do not think that very bright lighting will make the story much more interesting but it will spoil the mood that the director is trying to create, which is the pressure and pain of a person. Probably what Hui Ling can do is to watch a more direct and easier play to begin with before watching this play.
