Two ex-cult members who band together in a religious revival — but will they and their relationship survive it? The Prophet is a two-person play about Jeremy, a man who can predict the future, and Katherine, a woman who believes Jeremy can help her become powerful.
In this show, Jayden Baldry (Jeremy) had some phenomenal acting moments, and it had some impressive set, lighting, and sound elements. However, the story of this show felt very confusing and incomplete. It seemed as though character motivation and backstory were missing, and the overall plot of the story was very confusing and unclear. There were some very funny moments throughout the show, but what exactly they were making fun of was not clear. Simply, by the end of the show, I was not sure what the message or point of the play was.
However, despite all of this, the acting and technical elements of the show really shone through! Baldry’s comedic acting had the audience frequently laughing, and the technical elements of the show were very impressive. Props such as hilariously oversized cigarettes added greatly to the comedy of the show, and the lighting and sound of the play were dramatic and effective. Despite the story’s shortcomings, it is clear that the actors, technicians, and crew have worked very hard on this show.
The Prophet had great acting, comedy, and tech! Though it was quite hard to follow in some parts, watching this show remained an enjoyable experience.
