A theatrical review is a short essay providing constructive comments on a theatrical performance from the viewpoint of an audience member. In a theatrical review the writer provides constructive comments on the performance, focusing on the elements of drama and how successfully they have be used within the performance. At the end of the review, the writer usually informs the reader as to whether they recommend seeing the performance or not.
