What I Would Like To See

I've only been to ONE play, Stratford's rendition of As You Like It, and I did not enjoy myself what so ever. Why? Well, I didn't have a clue as to what was going on. Number one, I couldn't understand what they were saying for the life of me and number two, I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to something I didn't want to watch. I'm turned off of plays, to say the least. However, if I were to be able to choose what I want to see at a play, I would like to see lots of drama. Fights and crying are a must when it comes to dramatic plays. It's also important to add a little comic relief. There's always that one character who provides the comedy, and they are usually the most likeable. I would also want to see some real life issues; something similar to what someone may experience in reality. Those types of plays are usually heartwrenching, and the most intriguing to watch. Characters wise, I want to see a variety of characters; people with different personailities and beliefs which would make the play come together. It would be waaaaaay too boring otherwise.

  1. Erica, I absolutely adore plays, but I can completely understand where you are coming from. I think you would enjoy absurdity on stage.

    You have most, but not all blogs complete.
