Miss Evers Boys

Miss Evers Boys was a really good play. It had a good story line but the overall story could've been a lot "juicer". I really liked the relationships between each of the characters, it was really clear, especially the relationship between the boys and Miss Evers. I was able to tell by the physical movements that their relationships grew over time. They began to interact with each other a lot more. What I really like about Miss Evers' boys is that there is a lot of physical movements especially with Stanley's character, and his movements also told a story over the width of the play. As he got sicker his movements slowed down and he started struggling to dance. When I left the theatre, I wasn't as moved as I think i should've been. I don't really know the reason for that, maybe it had to do with the play or directing or acting. I can't really point it out. Usually when I leave the theatre it has an impact on me but not this time. The best part of the play were the boys. The way they interacted and trusted one another was really nice to see. It was like a brotherhood and relationship is really important in the theatre. I felt like the directing was "ok", there were many ways the director could've made the scenes more interesting by placing the characters in different places, or different points of view. Besides my critique, overall I enjoyed the play.
