I was really impressed overall with the actors knowing their lines and movements. Piggy, played by Jacob Brandt, was my favorite character. Several times in the play, Piggy would act as though he had asthma which, I might add, took the audience by surprise.

The actors all memorized their lines very well. I think Carlos Rojas did very well as Perceval. He really got into that character like a professional especially when he was crying (made to cry). The part about Jacob Brandt as Piggy wanting his specs was very well staged. And even Jacob Brandt (As Piggy) being pushed off the set by one of his fellow actors was made to look both really real and very believable.

Takeaways
  • Piggy & Ralph would, in many parts of the play, be seen quarreling with Jack.
  • Piggy & Ralph would represent the good forces and Jack would represent the evil force.
  • Piggy was the only person around wanting to restore order.
