Detectives

A Brief History Of Murder, which encompassed both "Detectives" and "Victims" was, I'm sure, somebody's baby of a two play series. Agreeing with Vicky, Detectives was disappointing. Instead of filling in many of the gaps of "Victims" the play only furthered the confusion of those events which we did not witness in "Victims". It also had managed to make the three Portal sister characters become totally irrelevant and gave them two stupid and crazy song and dance sequences which did nothing for anyone besides potential make a few people's ears bleed. The pastry aspect of the play seemed even more random as well as the construction of the relationship of our main character, Andy Summers, the detective and her husband, the photographer. There were far too many scenes that were only recording, (bad quality recording at that) and those only happened during the brief scene changes, which were, in general, just annoying. I think it'd be interesting to see what the Sneaky Snake Productions does next, but I have slightly lower expectations than before.
