Hello Everyone, Hope you have been having a good week. Sorry about the late update both of these were supposed to be posted on Saturday but I hope you'll forgive the tardiness I had a midterm yesterday.
Before going to see this show I had a lot of information. We had thoroughly discussed it in class and I had spoken to playwright.
Getting to listen to Robert Chafe, was awesome. From the moment he said hello he had me hooked. I was so excited to see his work of art it hardly phased me to hear that it was three hours long. Robert was a curious playwright who has had better luck writing with adaptations than with original work. He told us the story of his beginning as a playwright in Newfoundland, where he was a disgruntled actor who believed that he could write a better show with a better part. To his days converting the story of a midwife to a national production, and now his work against Newfy (sorry it's spelled wrong) stereotypes. Robert was a joy to listen to and it made me so excited to see his work come to life.
I have always loved history and whenever it is brought to the stage I find that it can give the trired old tales new life and breath, I hope that this one will be that and more.
Thanks again
part 2 will be up soon
Elyse
