racbuckallew 's review for:

If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio
4.5
dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

God, wow, this is brilliant. The language is lovely, and the story is captivating. At times, though, the story is problematic—they really need a stage manager. The way theatre is studied here is wildly unsafe and unrealistic. It’s distracting that some crucial theatre technicalities are incorrect or omitted. These characters, though, accurately play their parts and are incredibly lovable.
