You can go to a play that is enjoyable because it's funny, and then on the next night you can go to a play that's enjoyable because it's 'disturbing.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A good play puts the audience through a certain ordeal.
Sometimes there's one person in the audience laughing hysterically, and it's so much fun. You end up playing the entire play to them.
The real thing is, you should be seeing these plays in the Theatre. That's what they were written for. That's where the enjoyment is. Studying them is no enjoyment whatsoever.
The thing about theatre is that when it is actually occurring, when you have the audience on your side, you absolutely think you can will them to do anything. It's exhilarating.
Theater has always been much more fun. You get a laugh, and it's really encouraging.
The theater is magical and addictive.
I've never been one for late nights, which is why I have always preferred making films to theatre. A play takes over your life: you start to feel sick at lunchtime, and by mid-afternoon, you're wishing for a bomb scare so the whole thing will be called off. Of course, if the evening goes well and you get the applause, then it's wonderful.
It's definitely fun to play something you're not, which is always a good time.
It's street theater. You have to make it entertaining so people don't get bored and walk away.
I forgot how scary plays are. The audience is so much a part of the night - I know that a lot of it is trying to shut that out and just do your own thing.
