"Bone Chiller"

“Bone Chiller” is a must-seen play. Excitement,  fright, and comedy are the main factors that make the play interesting. Every character has different sides that they hide, and everyone is scared of each other. During the play you can’t get a sense of who the real murderer is. Anything can happen, and when someone dies, it happens very abrupt, so for that reason you should follow the play very carefully.

I saw the play on 15th of May on a Friday night. The play didn’t contain a lot of musical features. That is why the dialogues of the characters were very important. Sometimes I didn’t understand some of the dialogues, since the characters were speaking too fast, and I got lost in the plot. However, the play was well presented. One of the parts that I liked the most was the beginning. The sound of thunderstorms, rain, and the lights made the scene very scary. The lighting was very good, and it helped me to understand the plot better. I liked the scene when Mauve died, and all the lights went off. When the lights were off, hearing screams from the actors was possible. I can say that that scene was very realistic, and I was scared. 

There was one thing that confused me in the play. There were a lot of characters, and keeping their names in my head was difficult. I could remember some of their names, and I could remember their jobs, or their characteristics. Sometimes it was difficult to understand what the characters were saying, since they were speaking a little too fast. However, the actors had done a good job in terms of reflecting their characters’ personalities. 

One thing that I liked about the play was the decorations. The house that they were in was successful to tell us that it was a rich man’s house. The bar in the middle of the set gave me a sense of how Jesiah Travers was rich, and he used to drink a lot. Another thing that showed me his wealth were the animals on the wall. The decorations that were used could only belong to a rich man, and Jesiah was rich.

If I were to add something to the play, I would add more music. Usage of music made the play more scary, and exciting. In the beginning, and in between the acts, the music was able to frighten me, and make the situation more exciting. Also, I liked the sound effects. For example I heard the sound of the wind every time someone came inside the house, and also the police sirens in the end were very realistic. They made the play better.

All in all, I liked the play. It was a time well-spent. Even though I was confused sometimes about the plot, and characters, I understood the main idea, and who killed Jesiah. However, I did not expect the ending, and that the murderers were inside the house. It was a great play, and I would suggest everyone to go and see it.
