I like the use of repetition in this play. The play write does a good job of telling the audience and the actors what is important by having lines repeated like this. Also, act three is in a post apocalyptic world and theres something about repetition of these intense phrases that make the setting seem more scary and bleak.

Maybe because I never watched The Simpsons, but it's hard for me to follow which parts are the play and which parts are interpretations of the episodes. I read this play in a playwriting class a few semesters ago and was just as lost then as I am now. I do think this whole play is very creative and speaks to a modern audience by talking about something as universal as theSimpsons, I'm just the outlier

I like how symbolic the cherry orchard is. The orchard is a symbol of hope, prosperity, death, and despair for every character. Everyone has their own meaning associated to the orchard and I think that's what makes this play so dynamic. It interesting to see how one object can mean so many different things to different people and it's up to the audience to see whose perception is the right one, or at least the most justified.

I think it's really interesting to see how class is used in Chekhov's plays. This character was able to work his way out of the lower class but still has all of the feelings of lower class upbringing. It almost feels like he has to continue to justify his wealth and success since it was not always a given for him.

I really like this scene. It's such a normal part of life to rebel against your parents and question beliefs, but somehow, most people end up going through the same motions to get the answers they crave. What I like about this scene is that it calls out all the bullshit that comes along with self discovery and does so in a way that is so real. I can imagine my parents saying this to me, and i'm sure other people have had a similar conversation to this. This play feels very real and honest which I appreciate.

I think it's really interesting that the playwright makes this distinction right at the beginning becomes it shows us how code switching is so engrained in our culture. There is pressure to talk a certain way around white people. This makes me interested to see how the Korean actors and White actors are going to interact in the rest of the play.

Something that I find interesting, not specific to this play however, is that sex work and prostitution has been around since the beginning of time but it still has so many negative connotations. The people in this play have some conservative beliefs and prostitutes have always had a bad reputation, but what I don't get is that if there was a need for them, why do people consider it to be so awful or like a last result.

This is the second time "Do not discuss affairs of state" has been referenced and we are still in thee first few pages on the play. I'm curious to see how censorship will be shown in this play or how political influences will be demonstrated. There are 3 pages worth of characters so I don't exactly remember who is who but there is an all white army and Im curious to see if they are involved with censorship issues.

I really like this scene oddly enough. Visually I think this could be staged really cool, where you can't actually see any ones face, just figures and a scythe. I think it could be really creepy but also emphasizes the importance of this scene and these characters who almost act like profits.

This is such a good opening line. I feel like this play talks a lot about memory and identity and this line packs such a punch right at the beginning. Memory is so important and we can live in our memories, but we need to know when it's time to put those memories aside and live in the moment.

I love this song because it's the high point of the play and the villain is high on laughing gas so it's hard to take him seriously. We also see how weak Seymour really is, he's kinda a scaredy cat. Here's his opportunity to help Aubrey and get rid of Orin but he just stands there and lets the laughing gas do all the work.

I do remember the 21st night of September lol. I love little Shop because it dos such a good job bringing pop culture in the story. A musical about a giant plant that eats people is definitely a strange concept for a play, but combining the weird with the familiar is where Little Shop thrives.

Something that Sarah Kane does really is utilizing her structure of the script to make certain things stand put. I remember talking about this in my play writing class a few semesters ago but everything from font, word placement, size, format, etc, goes into the delivery and tone of the script. Kane plays around with the structure a lot to make specific things stand out in this dark play.

I know the contents of this play are pretty dark and depressing but this is such a beautiful line. It's so descriptive and personal, and even though it's a description about grief, it really stand out to me.

I like seeing how different this version of Antigone is compared to other versions I've read before. She has always been very headstrong but in this version, she seems passionate which was lacking in a lot of other adaptations. Even just thee way that Antigona talks about her sister, Ismeme and her act of betrayal hurts so much more than in other versions.

I always liked that Antigone refused to get married after her brother died. It was such an uncommon thing for a women decide not to get married, so when Antigone refused, I found it to be rally powerful. What I like about this adaptation a lot is hoe playful it is. Antigona and Coryphaeus obviously have some form of relationship and its rally endearing to watch.

I think the fourth man is a very interesting character that questions the norms that are being set up in this play. He questions his beliefs, changes his mind, questions authority, and always stays true to himself, even if it puts him in jail. He brings a lot of insight into this play and is very Brectian in my opinion.

I think it's interesting that the Storyteller refuses to tell happy stories when everyone is begging for one. The customers haven't heard a happy story in a wile because the Storyteller believes that stories with sad endings have more to learn from. I don't disagree with this, but if the people are begging for happiness, why deprive them? It seems rather selfish of the story teller to do this to the customers.

I think this is really interesting because we are seeing Galy Gay being very strategic about what he knows and why. He knows what happened at the auction since he was there but he is not so keen about giving out his information so fast. I like this scene because we see a side of Galy Gay that is methodical and informative.

I think this whole scene is really funny because they are trying to rob a temple and are doing a really bad job. It's almost like their karma kicked in really early to sabotage them from making a bigger mistake. The fact that everything is going wrong for them is really frustrating for the character but entertaining and a good lesson for the audience.

I love that Brandon Jacob Jenkins goes in and out of being in character and being himself. I also love this disclaimer because it's true. We know how movies and our culture depicted slaves but we don't have any proof to whether or not that was true. We can make assumptions but those are just assumptions and not facts. I like that BJJ is trying to get the reader out of their head and forget about any preconceived notions they might have about slaves and give in to his play and his ideas.

I really relate to this line. Theres an expectation that you need to find meaning in everything we do and sometimes thats just not the case, especially when mental illness is involved. Also, theatre is such a complicated field, it's normal to have a love hate relationship and still be unsure of what makes you feel happy.

I wonder if Bruce knew Alison was gay, especially since he was in the closet for most of his life. It would be a nice added element of Bruce knew about Alison and wanted to create an environment that was safe for her unlike what he had. or at least for her to admit to earlier than he did.

I think it's interesting that bruce is telling Alice to trust her instincts when she already told us she can't do that. Also his line about impressing people and turning yourself into knots, Alison is still trying to impress her dad after he died about a career that she knows he wouldn't approve. It seems like Alison is going directly against her fathers advice.

I think this scene gives the reader an inside look of Woyzeck's mind. The shewolf in mythology is a mother figure that is very caring and beneficial to the survival of many society. (I read an article about this earlier today for my roman civilization class) so I find it really telling that Woyzezk goes in grate detail about how he would kill a shewolf if he saw one,

This is really interesting because the Showman is saying that the only thing different between a human and a horse are deductive reasoning skills. He's simplifying evolution to prove a point that we are no so different from other living things

It's interesting that Jean is declaring his love to Miss Julie and that he has been in love with her for some time now and Julie is not interested in him even though they would be a good match. During this time period, there is a lot of societal pressure on a woman to get married and settle down but Miss Julie is refusing to do so with a man of a good social status and value. She gets more and more aggressive as the play goes on so I’m interested to see how their relationship will change. As well as Jeans relationship with Kristin.

I'm a little confused why they are all so obsessed with dancing. I get it's the Midsomer holiday and it is a festive time but were only on page 8 and Jean and Kristen have been talking about dancing together so often and are upset with Miss Julie because of the way she is dancing.I wonder if Kristen is in love with Jean and wants to dance with him to show him how she feels or if she just wants to dance with someone. Maybe it's just a time period difference or there's something I missed about a party that is happening, I'm just confused why they are so focused on this.

This might be a little random but the only time I've ever heard of Miss Julie before was in the Marvelous Mrs Maisel when Jane Lynches character wanted to prove she was a serious actor so she convinced her manager to stage a production of Miss Julie so she could play the lead. I thought Miss Julie was supposed to be an old washed up woman and not a young ingenue so it completely altered my perception of this play.

I find this really interesting, I never thought that the modern era would be defined by it's controversies
