A Woman of No Importance Reviews

Moyer from Warminster, Pennsylvania

REALLY AWFUL

If I could give it no stars I would. Couldn’t hear and what we could hear was downright boring. Not funny at all. We left half way through. We have season tickets to Walnut - have had them for years- and this was just a really disappointing pick for their season. We have never walked out on a show before and never had so much difficult before hearing the dialogue. Felt it was a waste of time.

SO DISAPPOINTING

I was certain I was having a stroke because I could not understand a word that was being said. Perhaps my hearing failed my body the second this show started. Or maybe the sound was muffled because I was so cold I had my coat zipped up to my ears. What ever the reason, I had to leave at intermission. I figured at least I could get a hour back of my life. This was a terrible show, the worst I have seen at this theatre.

CHATTY AND FLAT

We sat in the first row of the balcony and it was impossible to hear. We left at the intermission along with many others. The next week we returned to Walnut's Studio 3 for "Thurgood" which was a delight. What a contrast!

BORING

I've seen every WST production for the last ten years or so. This was by far my least favorite. I seriously considered walking out at intermission along with many others who did. To say that it was boring is an understatement. The other reviewers who complain about the poor sound design are absolutely corret - the dialogue was very difficult to hear, make even more so by British accents. The set design seemed like a high school play. Such a disappointment and I don't understand why some of the professional reviewers said otherwise in the press.

A WOMAN OF NOT IMPORTANCE WAS TERRIBLE

I've seen every WST production for years. This one was easily my least favorite. Sound quality was terrible and the play was downright boring. A few witty remarks here and there but for the most part it just felt long and pointless. Many people left at intermission and people around us were all complaining loudly. I have already told friends and family to skip this one.

A SHOW OF NO IMPORTANCE

I love theater and am a Walnut Street Subscriber but this show was BAD.. the dialogue droned on & on with not enough emphasis on the comedy. As many others commented, We couldn’t hear the actors without straining g (and our group all have excellent hearing), the theater was also exceptionally warm on our recent Sat evening performance which led to lots of sleepers in the seats, including my husband. We decided to leave at intermission and were not shocked to see groups of others walking out with us. Very unfortunate and a waste of an expensive evening in the city.
