Vera - 2*
I didn’t really understand the social and political context of this one to be honest. Something about the toxicity of authority/the monarchy I kinda gathered from this? I don’t know. But it was really over dramatic and ended abruptly lmao.
The Duchess of Padua – 3*
This one was pretty funny actually. I mean, it would’ve been better if Ascanio and Guido were gay but what do I know? I liked the discussion of the role of women and social classes. Again, a very over dramatic and abrupt end.
Salomé – 1*
The commentary felt off in this one but I couldn’t really put my finger on why. It felt the same as the others and really repetitive, I got bored.
Lady Windermere’s Fan – 4*
Ok this was funny I actually like this one. It was a lot easier to read because of the language meaning it was a lot lighter and easier to digest. The characters were interesting and the plot easy to follow. God discussion of morality and how no person is strictly good or bad.
A Woman of No Importance – 3*
There were a lot of characters in here I got confused. Good demonstration of the cultural differences between America and England though. Funny and quick paced.
An Ideal Husband – 3*
All my notes say for this is ‘This is so witty haha’ and ‘Plot twists and drama ooo’ so take from that what you will.
Importance of Being Earnest – 3*
I didn’t really care about this one but it was funny. Too many characetrs and they all blurred into one in my head though if we’re being honest.
A Florentine Tragedy – 2*
It feels mean to rate an incomplete play but Wilde isn’t even alive so I’m sure he doesn’t care about my reviews. It had some nice pretty writing but I couldn’t tell you what was happening.
La Sainte Courtisane – 1*
Again, incomplete. Honestly have no idea what I even read.
These were thrilling reviews I know. If you’ve reads this far down – why?
