“Analysis of the physical theater techniques in "The Law Is Unjust”
“Okay firstly this play was cool and beautiful moreover so attractive It also
extinguishes a terrible enthusiasm, and it is a type of physical theatrical acting, and
it had entertaining dances, and the dialogue taking place in the play was wonderful
and attractive, and also the expressive monologue was one of the good points from
my side, and the performances of the actors were beyond wonderful, but my only
criticism is I had to not get excited at work.”
