Jean Cole (joc724) | 115 comments Which play did you read? I went to an old standard, A Streetcar Named Desire and Other Plays

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.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jody (jodybell) | 531 comments Which play did you read? A Streetcar Named Desire

Did you enjoy it? Loved it! I'd seen the film version already (with Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando) and I loved that too.

Do you usually read plays? Not as many as I should, because I really enjoy them & they read quickly.

Who was your favorite character and why? Blanche, because I like my characters to be a bit broken.

Which play did you read? Romeo and Juliet

Did you enjoy it? It was ok but there was too much overacting. I usually don't like classics, so no good surprise here.

Do you usually read plays? I read some adult plays in high school (they were ok) and later some children ones (which I enjoyed) but nothing since years.

Who was your favorite character and why? Juliet, she was sly as a fox at some points :)

Christi Which play did you read?The Crucible by Arthur Miller

Did you enjoy it? Nope.

Do you usually read plays? No. But I do like to go to them.

Who was your favorite character and why? I did not have a favorite character. It wasn't that kind of play.

Valerie | 9 comments Which play did you read? The Importance of Being Earnest

Did you enjoy it? Very much so, it was very funny!

Do you usually read plays? No, but if they are well-written, I do not have a problem with reading them. I was going to read Death of a Salesman, but wanted to read something short and funny so changed to this book.

Who was your favorite character and why? Algernon, because he was so audacious. He did the opposite of what his friend wanted him to, which only added to the play's hilarity.

Silvia Turcios | 304 comments Which play did you read?
Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw

Did you enjoy it? Yes, I did.

Do you usually read plays? Sometimes

Who was your favorite character and why? I really like the Colonel Pickering because he is a gentleman and he is always ready to follow the professor's experiments
