    Plays

    Do any of you go to plays, read plays, or maybe even been in a play? I saw Waiting For Godot(People say its religious.....not really though) a couple of months ago and it was pretty good. Watching it was better than reading it though, unlike books that I prefer reading first and then maybe watching a movie on it. I will go see Master and Margarita in a few weeks....hope it'll be good. So yea, any plays you've seen/read that are good?

    I've seen Death of a Salesman, The Glass Menagerie, and Oedipus (among others). Those were pretty awesome.


    I read this compilation of a few of Oscar Wilde's plays... 'The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays' (it's pretty funny, he's very good at using wit to make fun of everything), I understand why they called him a genius.

      i read Oedipius, but haven't seen the play though. It was a big surprise to me when I found out that he slept with his mother. LOL. what a fool....his fate was told to him but he didn't listen. I find that play so ironic......one of the reasons why I like it.

        The play was pretty good. Quite disturbing when the actor did the whole gouging out his own eyes scene. I think he was wearing some black contacts, added with the fake blood and the eerily dimmed lights, and the fact that the stage set-up in the 'A Noise Within' Playhouse in Glendale gives everyone a very up-close view of the actors, made it all too real indeed.



        Have any of you seen The Vagina Monologues?

          I was in 6th grade, and my teacher told me i should audition for this Armenian play that they were having. I went to the auditions, and there were 6 other girls auditioning for the same character that I was, and the person who decides was one of the kid's parent......anyways they told us they were gonna choose 3 and then the next 1 out of those 3...I was in the top 3 on the first day, and that girl was as well......I was sooo disappointed the next day, because they chose that girl over me, she was soo annoying, not good, and ugly...lol.....I was crying all the way....so after that disappointment, I never tried out for others, although I took this theater class and the instructor asked me if i wanted to be in some play with a small roll.....but nooo. Sometimes bad experiences stay bad no matter what....

            my first play was in the third grade(it was soo cute), another one was in 10th grade(Romeo and Juliet - The Matchmaker scene, didn't wanna do the balcony scene )

            fstkhnan.....ever heard of getting back on the horse? Life is full of dissapointments, which is why it shouldn't bother you so much. It will take over. Accept it and move on. And I bet you were much better than that girl who got picked and I bet it was you who was actually supposed to get picked......I mean, she was ugly and annoying. People like that should never get picked. lol.

            as for The Vagina Monologues...nope ckB, I for one didn't see it
            I see...

                Awww, you should've tried out for the theatre class thing!


                I was in this Armenian play freshman year of high school called 'Yergoo Nereroo Gerive'. I was the gesoor mama. Were they trying to tell me something? hehe. Anyway it was lots of fun. We did the play in front of the whole school then we went all the way to Fresno and put on for the people at Ararat Home. Ahhh, memoriiies =)

                  M. Butterfly (by Henry David Hwang) is a great play.

                  I've also read Tomson Highway's The Rez Sisters (a Native play).

                  The Importance of Being Earnest (by Oscar Wilde) is a great play.

                  I will soon be reading a play by Frank McGuiness called Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme , for my Literature of WWI class.

                  I've read half of Romeo and Juliet. *yawwwwwn*..

                  I'm also gonna be reading Othello (again for one of my courses)...

                    To add to that:

                    Arms and the Man (George Bernard Shaw)

                    Love's Labour's Lost (Shakespeare - one of the best plays by him, I think)

                    I've seen the movie of Twelfth Night, never got into reading it.

                    And the very play-like book called Kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig.

                    Oh, and another one I almost forgot,

                    Blood Relations, by Sharon Pollock.
