Overall, I enjoyed this play. More than Man-In-The-Moon-Madrigolds, at least. I really liked Edward. He was so sweet and innocent, but I felt bad for him because he had such a phony for a father. At first I liked Waldo, I even chose him to research, but now he's one of my least favorites. I especially didn't like how he made his wife go tell everybody he wasn't ready to give a speech or whatever. Anyways, I'm glad Henry was a good sort of fatherly-figure for Edward, because Waldo sure wasn't. The play wasn't quite as confusing this time, but still not entirely clear. It's so hard for me to envision this happening as a play because it feels like it should be a movie or something!
Have a good rest of your weekend everybody!!! And happy early Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

I agree that this play is better than Man in the Moon Marigolds. I'm so so on Waldo, but I agree that Edward was a good character. I also liked Lydian.
ReplyDeleteHa! When you said phony I immediatly thought of Catcher in the Rye! But I agree about Edward and I too enjoyed him as a character.
ReplyDeleteYES! I felt so terrible for Thoreau, his own friend basically stood him up. Waldo's a tad hypocrital; He speaks of change, but doesn't really do anything action-wise, much like those he accuses of not changing.
