The Counter play experience

My day started off with me eating a small, modest breakfast sandwich. I brushed my teeth, got dressed, and went to the ferry. I met up with my friends at Empire Outlets and we took the ferry with our other classmates. When we arrived in Manhattan, I second guessed myself and missed the train with everybody in it, prompting me to take the next train that came around five minutes after. When I got off the train, I attempted to use Google Maps to get to the theater, but it caused me to run for twenty minutes in the wrong direction. I then asked a kind gentleman for directions and he told me where to go and I finally arrived at the theater after fifteen strenuous minutes. The play consisted of 2 main characters: Paul and Katie. Katie was a waitress and Paul was an ex-alcoholic. Paul talks about his obsession with Sophia Loren and Italian tape recordings. Paul wanted Katie to poison him. Katie did not want to poison him, because she would go to jail for murder. Both characters went through tough times, Paul being an ex-alcoholic and Katie moving and dodging twenty seven voicemail messages. They hugged and she went to find her mystery voicemail man. The play was pretty good, but to be honest, it did not feel short at all. The seconds felt like minutes and the minutes felt like hours, but I think that was partially due to the fact that I tired myself out while trying to get to the theater. Overall, I really liked the set of the play and it was a great first play to watch.
