All In The Timing Play Analysis

In November of 2016, I saw the play All in the Timing put on by the Wachusett Theatre Company.The play is comprised of a series of short skits, none having to do with next one. Some skits having to do with different time streams, washing machines, or monkeys, the play was very entertaining. The problem with plays that don’t have a cohesive plot is the transition from one skit to the next. But with the organization of the skits and well timed blackouts the transitions were seamless.

Overall, the play was good. I was intrigued at the multiple skits, and I thought the selection of actors was amazing. What I liked was that I didn't feel as if I was sitting in my seat for three hours and didn’t get bored with the plot. While it was definitely not my favorite play put on by the Wachusett Theatre Company, but it had some amazing aspects. It was an enthralling experience and I can’t wait to go back and watch another
