Theatre review- Gatecrash- Hartlepool Town Hall


Review of Gatecrash at Hartlepool Town Hall

The event we went to was Gatecrash at Hartlepool Town Hall.
Gatecrash was a surprise party for Sam that didn’t exactly work out.
I had expected to watch a play but instead I was actually involved in the set. This was not what I expected due to Gatecrash being at the theatre. We were given a set of headphones to listen to the main characters conversations as well as listening to the party music. This kept you updated with what was happening in the set.
Gatecrash had 5 main characters. These were, Jazz (Melissa Grace), Imogen (Lydia Lakemoore), Jonno (Luke Vernon), Sam (Alex Harvey Sporle) and Rachael (Amy Forde).  All of the actors were really good and very convincining.
Jazz is Sam’s sister who organised the surprise party. Jazz really likes Jonno. Imogen has feelings for Jonno. Jonno is a big headed guy who liked to cheat and flirt with girls. Sam is the birthday boy whose birthday was ruined by what happened at the party.
Overall, I think that Gatecrash was a very enjoyable event that portrayed really well what would happen at a party if the wrong people were invited.
I would rate this performance as 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it to everyone.

Review of Gatecrash at Hartlepool Town Hall


Gatecrash
20th October 2014 at Hartlepool Town Hall
Me and my friends attended an interactive theatre performance by Zest Theatre.
It was based around a boy’s house party, and the consequences that come with teenagers and alcohol are not good.
I went to the event not really knowing what was going to happen- I thought I was going to the theatre and sitting down to watch a show, but I was very wrong!

The production was fully interactive, the characters and actors involved you fully, it was a good time!
