ok, so Nic took me 2 c the Boycott (yeah, he took me cuz i was plannin on sluffin off that nite rather than going, but when he WANTED to go to c a play i couldn't say no) and i thought it was AMAZING, like 4 real, great play!
ok, so first of all, splitting the name Lysistrata into a first and last name was genious! Next, she did a great job turning the scene between Kenisis and Myrnie into the scene between Jack and Izzy. i think she did a good job incorperating modern humor into that scene 2, if uk what i mean. the frog, crazy insane genious!!!!! i love that that thing totally hopped and poped all ovr!!!! 4 real!! i was kinda surpirzed at the performance though, it was kinda a 4N6 performance on seriods cuz it had lights n sound that came through speakers rather than her makin it herself, but yeah, it was pretty funny, i had a hard time concentratin on the play as i would a play and found myself kinda kritiking (yeah, i use the db8 spelling, get ovr it) it in my mind- which left me feelin kinda bad. (we'll get to that in part 2 just cuz i don't feel that i can put the good and bad parts of my Boycott exploration together.) next, i think the way that she staged it was really smart. all of her props were interactive and that adds something. i'm not really sure how to xplain it, maybe it's a theatre nerd thin, but yeah, it was pretty cool 2 c her bring inaimate obj's to life. she did some unexpected thin's 2 like the crazy rant about how not havin sex revolutionized the world and the way that parents and kids interact. i thought that was cool. i liked that she kinda modeled the prez after JFK (rt dwn to the cheatin) and the vice prez after Cheney. the idea of reese witherspoon (yeah, i can't spell her name, i don't really care) was kinda funny in my eyes, but yeah. i guess that's about it, i mean it was good theatre and it used Lysistrata as the base so it was a good connection of our lit n some modern culture.
