Review of Brooklyn 45

Brooklyn 45 (2023)
5/10
Supernatural Agatha Christie Play Without the Agatha Christie
14 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
How much better would the ending have been if at the end there had been a bloodbath with only Marla and Hilde left alive - Bob, Archie and Paul all dying fighting over the gun, maybe one picking up the knife and using it. Then.....Hilde says something in German that Marla recognises only a Nazi would say. Drum roll.... Hilde really was a Nazi and she did murder Clive's wife Susan.

But that's not what happened. Seems like Hilde had to die for some reason only spineless Bob knew.

Great acting, presented as a proper play but let down by the writing. All very one dimensional, no surprises in the writing, no ulterior motives, no red herrings, no misdirection ....all very flat and straight forward. My ending would've been superb.....if I say so myself.
