One of my favourite websites is playbill they are a great central hub for news, information, trivia, and much more, they are a huge inspiration for this blog. As i was browsing , i relaized something the fact that they cover plays as much as they do musicals, yetin my social circle not many peopletalk about plays outside of highschool days and shakespeare. Yet some plays are pretty crucial such as the recently adapted " Fences " by August Wilson but how many people knew it was a play before going in? Plays are important, they havebeen around much longer then the musicals we all love listening to yet whenever theatre is meantioned we always jump to "Wicked " or " Hamilton" , even i am very guilty of that, i once thought plays would go extinct but as long as long there is an auidence, and adaptions, and classes to bring them into plays will always be around. But much like their song and dance counter parts they are always changing, and theatre is best enjoyed when we realized that it is full of many parts. What do you think ? And what plays do you reccomend comedic or dramatic? Leave your comments below
