6 Characters doing something



I really have no idea what this absurdest play would be classified under. There were just all kinds of stuff going on. It was sort of like theater for dummies mixed with a self-help book, a bunch of philosophy, a soap opera topped off with a bit of Jerry Springer. I could tell the author wanted to make some point about the truth in theater and art in general but I’m not really sure what point he was trying to make. I’m also pretty sure the author of this play was doing some serious drugs at the time he wrote it. I was pretty shocked about how scandalous the family situation was. This play was really difficult to read because I was so confused by the characters constantly contradicting themselves and each other. I felt like the manager at the end when he decides this whole play was a waste of time. I feel like there might have been something good in there but I’m just way to confused to figure it out. I feel like most people don't have time to sit down and weed through all the craziness going on in this play to find the meaning. My state of confusion was constant during the whole play from the first word to the last word.
