Terra Nova

Last night Lee and I went to see the play Terra Nova. I was very impressed with how well they pulled of such a difficult play. The cast consisted of 5 main characters and 2 sub characters. The amount of lines they had to have memorized and the emotional charge they provided throughout the play was extraordinary.
The play started at 7:30 and we didn't get out of there till 10:00. When the play got over I was astonished to see what time it was for it didn't feel like I had been sitting there for 2 1/2 hours. It held both mine and Lee's attention throughout the play.
At first I was a little confused in the play for they kept changing from England to the Antarctic. I then realized that the parts portrayed in England were Captain Scott's flashbacks and memories. Once I realized that I totally got into the play. They portrayed the emotions and tensions so well that I found myself laughing with the characters and crying with the characters. Especially when Edgar "Taffy" Evans dies, oh that had tears running down my cheeks. Had to remind myself that it was only a play. Yes it was based on fact but it was a play none the less. Will Bousley portrayed the character of Taffy so well. I truly felt Taffy's pain as he lost it.
The picture here is a flashback of Captain Scott and his wife Kathleen.
