LovelyBy RagnarokWere performing this play at my high school for our 1 act and I have to say Its quite amazing. Even though we have to cut the play down to a short 40 minutes for competition. I always get emotional seeing the journey up to the devastating end. If your in to intense dramas then this is perfect for you.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Cats at the AbbeyBy S. MealsI saw the play at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. It was dark and foreboding and eerily beautiful. I read the play afterward and gained even greater appreciation.
