I LOVED last year's Very Crazy Arab Ladies, created by the same team. It was smart, very funny and well-paced. By comparison, Book of Ooka was none of these things. As well, the storyline was weak and as a result, the play was laboured and plodding. It almost felt that after last year's success, the creators looked for a follow-up that picked up on last year's themes. Sadly, the result was not credible or worthy. After the performance, we chatted with other attendees outside the theatre. All shared our disappointment in the Book of Ooka.
