Title: Too overdone.
Product review: "Strange Bedfellows" is a very long-winded play concerning the reading of it, and I'd imagine performing it and watching it as an audience member would be the same. When reading, I felt that the two playwrights, Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements, expected the reader to be fully familiar with the history of the Women's Suffrage (do brush up on your history if you plan on reading/seeing this play). And, I felt the "inside knowledge" everyone had about the "certain women" was barely shared, and I felt left out of the action. To perform if, a lot of stamina would be needed for the actors and actresses, as this is a lengthy play with full costumes and quick dialogue. For audience members, I'd say you need the Cliffs Notes for this time in history, and a great attention span. I so very much wanted to enjoy reading this play dealing with an important time in our history, and I was looking forward to the humor, but I couldn't wait until it was over. I do not recommend.
