My experience began outside the Roundabout Theater, which looked old from the outside. When my class and I stepped into the building, we had to go to the basement to get to the theater. We then took our seats, and the play began. It started with two people, Kaite and Paul, in a diner. Kaite is the owner of the diner and serves Paul, a retired firefighter, coffee almost daily in the mornings. The play went on through their conversations and escalated when they decided to share their secrets. Katie revealed that she used to live in a different city but moved when her friend didn’t share her romantic feelings. Paul revealed that he feels his life is meaningless and wants Kaite to poison him. Upon hearing each other’s secrets, they were enraged and wanted to change the other person. The play went on and developed each other’s characters and shared their secrets. Finally, the play ended when Kaite’s friend arrived in town and asked to meet with her.
Overall, the play wasn’t horrible to see; many parts were interesting and funny, but after a while, their talking made me sleepy. I feel that the play needed more action or at least a change in scenery. The play only had three characters and one setting. If they had a larger crew or more settings, then the play would’ve been better; however, the play did well for their resources. Another thing that I disliked in this play is that it feels incomplete; the ending did not show if Kaite got together with her friend or what happened to Paul.
