The Performance

There came a strom of applause after the final scene;

I enjoyed the performance immensely;

The play was dull (uninteresting, bored me to death, captured my imagination...);

The play was a success with the public (was popular with the public);

There was no end to the applause when the perfomance was over;

There were exclamations of admiration after the performance;

The play was moving (too lovely for words);

The performance was too long, it seemed that even the actors’ energy was failing;

It was an uneven performance, eloquent in places, ineffective in others;

I felt like walking out;

The performance flopped due to the poor directorship, let alone the sloppy scenery and strange unsuitable music;

The admiration of the audience knew no bounds...

The play (performance) reflected (dealt with, was devoted to, told of, depicted the life of, was based on historical facts) events;

The plot moves backwards and forwards...

The production of the play is controversal, I must presume;

The play was played as a dressy melodramatic charade;

The wit of Hall’s approach lies in treating Wilde’s Victorian staginess lightly and his comedy totally serious;

The performance was marvelous;

As a producer he showed a keen and kind sense of humour, recurrent sparks of visual and literal imagination and a solid gift for getting a story told;

The satire of the production is tough, but the humanity is still present;

The play has aroused wide interest and almost unanimous praise from the critics;

No praise could be too high for the brilliant acting and staging of the play;

The ballet was too exotic, pure classical;

The now-famous mesmering entry;

The comic vein of the play is very rich;

All the characters were endowed with crude vitality but had few distinguished traits;

Great acting, direction and design – have achieved an unforgettable feast for ear and eye;

It was a memorable performance;

All praise to the corps de ballet and soloists.
