The Metal Children: A Play by Adam Rapp
3.0
3.5/5*
I thought this play was very engrossing and brought up a lot of good themes about adolescents, pregnancy, and the freedom of expression of art, but I felt a larger point lacking. It was an excellent play to read, and I would love to see it live, but I came away from it unsure as to what Rapp was trying to say about the current world. Though many great and relevant topics were brought up, I found them underdeveloped at some points, and at times it seemed like Rapp lost sight of what story the piece was really trying to tell. Overall, I did enjoy it, and I thought it raised a lot of interesting points.
