Personally, I don’t agree with everything: I thought the dances (though intricate) outstayed their welcome and robbed the performance of much of its pace. I was also a little non-plussed by the conclusion: was Gregor’s betrayal by his sister meant to be shocking or predictable? As it was we had little evidence of her actions previously on which to base any judgement.

That said, I agree that the level of physical effort shown by the cast was impressive throughout, and that the injections of comedy were well judged. My question - When does a member of the “DramaSoc establishment” metamorphose into the “stubbornly intellectual old guard”?
