BlackBird

Last Friday was my Birthday and my friend treated me to a Broadway Play, BlackBird. My play analysis Professor saw it already and said the play and actors, Michelle Williams and Jeff Daniels, were amazing. After hearing what he said, I was so excited. In fact, I was the one who requested to watch BlackBird out of the list of plays. My friend and I had Bearburgers for dinner. We rushed to the theatre just in time to squeak in a bathroom break. I don't know why, but that night my body decided to have digestive issues. So while during the play, my stomach was growling and making all these noises. Plays are a lot different than movies. The acoustic in the theatre is really well designed. Therefore audience have to be really quite. Even a cough can echo throughout the room. If you're one of the people who I've disrupted during the play, I am so sorry to ruin your experience. It was the most tiring 90 minutes of my life. Not only do I have to focus and concentrate on the play, but also constantly worry about my stupid stomach. But it was worth it, the play, like my Professor said, is really amazing. Don' worry. I will not spoil anything in the play just in case anyone who's reading this decided to go watch it. Jeff Daniels is such a phenomenal actor. I didn't think that he could play such a serious character, because I always thought of him as idiot from Dumb and Dumber. I am wrong. He was able to bring out the feelings, emotions and thoughts of the character through his actions, the way he talked, his rhythm. On the other hang, I think that Michelle overacted a little bit. Compare to Jeff, I felt that she wasn't quite on par with him. Nevertheless, she was still really good. I want to specify that all these comments are purely my opinion. I am not a critic. I do not hope that this will affect the way you view the play. Some people disagree with me about Michelle and I respect that. I am not trying to impose anything. I am writing this to simply share an experience. I hope you can watch the play and formulate your own opinion.
