Did you enjoy it? Very much.
Do you usually read plays? No.
Who was your favorite character and why? When I say favorite I don't mean I liked this character, but I found Stanley Kowalski interesting because even though he is a brute, Blanche Dubois' manipulative, ultra-feminine ways almost defeat him. Guess that's why this is a classic.

The Night of January 16th
Did you enjoy it? Yes I did enjoy it. This one left the audience to decide if the defendant was guilty and I felt a bit lost without an ending - I'm desperate to know if she really did it!
Do you usually read plays? No. This is the first one I've read.
