The play thread
Anyone a fan of plays?
I watched "A Street Car Named Desire" with Marlon Brando and Vivianne Leigh today. Stanley was one cruel bastard. Do you think he was so mean to Blanche because he wanted her? Other plays I like are: "Zoo Story" "Guys and Dolls" "The Crucible" "Othello" "West Side Story" "Charlies Aunt" "Arsenic and Old Lace" Name some plays you like. |

First one i thought of off the top of my cold medicated head is Neil Simon's "The good Doctor." And yes, you can all hate me now but I love the play verison of "Bye Bye Birdie."

Neil Simon is brilliant.
I also like California Suite and Biloxi Blues. Bye bye Birdie was good. |

The last time I bought a season ticket to the theatre, this was my favourite of the season. I attend the summer Fringe Festival here off and on, usually to check out the new works of local playwrights such as Darrin Hagen. I don't much like musical theatre, but I am regularly forced to endure it due to my brother's dabblings there.

I think he was a self centered bastard, and he was mean to her cause he could.
