The Other Side [B+]

I liked this show (WARNING: my friends hated it). It's about a mythical war, followed by a mythical peace. It oscillates between realism and surrealism. This has the effect of keeping you off balance, but it does make you think. It dramatizes the cost of war by making the small personal interactions feel important while distancing you from the counting of the dead. All three actors are quite good, and the set and even the lighting are especially good.
