A review by hannacollects
Still by Marsha Norman, Jen Silverman
i read this for uni and currently i'm trying to write a paper about it and well, this play has really grown on me. in the beginning i wasn't sure what to think but now i really like it! it's so weird and even though it's about the saddest thing in the world, it's pretty enjoyable, sometimes even ....fun?
i love how it deals with emotions. it shows that no feeling is simple, especially in such a difficult situation. it treats its characters carefully. its simple language is straight to the point. it opposes gender stereotypes. and i reallyreally want to see it on stage :( :(
fav quotes:
- “You look like the sort of woman who’s got better things to do than marry a man.”
- “I’m sorry. I’m not an emotional person. These are not emotions, per se. I prefer to think of them as - natural disasters.”
- “I don’t really like people that much but you’re OK.”
- “You broke my heart. You break my heart. I didn’t know I had a heart until you broke it.”
yes, i'm procrastinating.
