ff2011, Day 25
A quiet day.
Being Winona Ryder
Nuclear Family
The Six-Sided Man
A quiet day. Except for the shows and name-dropping. And the piano-wielding ponies.

I know you will get around to posting your comments about each show, but I just wanted to know is The Six Sided Man worth seeing – In your opinion?
What is on the list for tonight?

Hi Charlie. The Six-Sided Man is interesting… it’s a quality bit of theatre in its own right. But (and that’s a big “but”) the book on which it’s based – Luke Rhinehart’s The Dice Man – is a very significant novel to me… and some aspects of that story resonated more deeply with me than others. Unfortunately, most of those bits were ignored in this adaptation… leading to a disappointing experience for me.
In short – if you know the book well, The Six-Sided Man may be a bit risky; otherwise, I imagine it’d be an interesting premise wrapped in a quality production.
