I remembered my high school doing their own interpretation of this play and I was thoroughly entertained. I decided that this play had certain points and characteristics that each family member could relate too.Even though a few user reviews were negative, we decided that we would rather form our own opinions. A user review by bhack525 stated that "It (the play) ran a bit to long, though when I am in a theatre, I never want it to end-unless, of course it’s a dog of a show." In contrast to that review RaveReviewsNYC stated that "The revival of Fiddler on the Roof reminds me of the story of the founding fathers. Both are thrilling, fresh and tell an important history."

    Consequently, at the time when we were given a choice for Play #5, I was also lucky enough to receive an opportunity to see the “The Great Comet of 1812” with my residence hall. Since the tickets were significantly discounted and right at my disposal, of course I took the opportunity to go. When the show was announced, I was very excited as I had heard a lot of buzz about the musical.

The painting also added to the setting by focusing on the art aspect of the play. I also enjoyed the humor of the play.…

    The Bridge did not avoid the classical linear narrative where strong causality linked the past with the present and future. The Bridge’s narrative was developed through a four-line structure (A: B: C: D). Each letter corresponded to a storyline. Each one of these lines function in parallel, but they did not necessarily have the same salience for the narrative or the same duration in each episode. For example, A was the most significant, B less, and so on.…
