“You cashed in silver, Mr. Iscariot, but me? Me, I threw away God… that’s a fact. That’s a natural fact.”
Love a lot of the ideas thrown in this play. As someone riddled with Catholic guilt, I loved some of the play’s sentiments profusely.
I shall admit, perhaps my least favorite thing I’ve read for Stella Adler so far. If I were 16, maybe this would’ve been the funniest, coolest, most profound play I’ve ever read. It comes across more as juvenile to me now. I’m not so sure that time will help my relationship with this play.
But I read this because my first character in Scene Study is… SATAN. Because when you look at me, you think Satan, right? lol. Was flattered and almost nervous that this was the first character my Scene Study teacher gave me solely from my monologue performance on Day 1. I do like my scene that I’m working on; it’s silly.
The monologues in this play are nice. Especially the final, devastating one by Butch.
Still, some of the dialogue is so swear-y and vulgar for the sake of it; not because it adds anything.
