The Man Who Stayed for More Than Dinner

The assignment at hand in this class is the play, "The Man Who Came to Dinner".

I went to "The Man Who Came to Dinner" and I stayed for at least 45 minutes...lol jk I know it was a stupid joke but I wanted to say it and so there it is.  I stayed for the whole thing, I promise.

I love this girl's expression.  I don't even know what she's thinking but  the fact that she is looking at my phone as my friend took the picture makes me laugh a little bit.

The play was humorous, to say the least.  The entire story was filled with sarcastic lines and hilarious turns-of-events.  The actors, as well, did a good job of making the words come to life with their faces.  At times, their expressions, like the girl in this picture, were simply priceless.

My favorite part was probably the end.  The very last thing that happens just left me in a humored mood.  I felt like it made the play a grade level higher just because it ended so.

One of the lines that tickled me most was one in Act I, and takes place when Sherry tells Maggie that he simply does not want to be disturbed by any visitors.  Then someone walks in, pushes past Maggie and finds Sherry welcoming him gladly.  To this Maggie replies: “Sherry, the next time you do not want to see anybody, just let me know, and I’ll usher them right in.”

The whole play was fun and lighthearted.  There were only a few scenes where I desired more to go to sleep than I did to stay awake, and that’s a lot to me, since I’ve never actually been to a formal theatre house before and seen a play.  And there wasn’t even really a moment where I didn’t want to finish the play.

My sympathies go out to the man who came to dinner.  I hate that he had to stay for more than dinner, but quite the humorous and chaotic plot ensued, so I’m not as sympathetic as I actually stated.

All-in-all, it was wonderful experience.
