I just got back from seeing Giant Bones, and OH MY. I went in with medium-high expectations, the first act met them okay, and then the second act blew them out of the water.
You know how sometimes, in the first act, there is a gun on the mantlepiece, and you find yourself thinking, wow, they just put that gun on the mantlepiece, but this seems to be a play of short stories. How brave of them to just put that there without any intention of using it! And then in the second act everything turns out to be a metaphysical play about the nature of guns? And everything that you thought were short stories turn out to be a part of it?
It was like that. Except with STORYTELLING instead of guns.
