So I just got back from seeing the production of Hedda Gabler at our school's theatre. I went because my roommate was required to go for her theatre class and she didn't want to go alone. If you've been thinking about going, let me save you a trip. Don't. It was the most boring two and a half hours of my life. Yes that's right-two and a half hours! What play is two and a half hours that isn't a musical? I was counting the minutes until it was over. It was gruesome
It was so weird and confusing. I have no idea what the point of the play was. I hate things that seem to never have a point. And that's what this was. It had a story, I guess, but not really a plot. There didn't seem to be any purpose for anything that was happening. It didn't seem realistic at all. The main character was a black woman who was married to a prominant white man in the 1950's...which doesn't seem realistic in itself. And she was a bitch. A crazy bitch. And kind of a whore.
I wanted to leave during intermission but my roommate made me stay. I missed Grey's Anatomy for that stupid play! My favorite show of all time and now I have to watch it online tomorrow. Anyways, just take my word for it...this play was awful.

I looked up the play to see what it was about and the storyline actually seems pretty interesting. But I only spent about 15 min reading about it (not hours, LOL). Maybe it was just to drawn out, or maybe it wasn't portrayed too well.
