Today we read through Tennessee William's "The Long Goodbye". I find it to be delightfully weird and quirky. it deals with a man, Joe, and his dealing with his mother's death and his sister's personality changes (for the worse). the play incorporates flashbacks quite heavily and they start in a quite discreet fashion, which might confuse the audience, but i find it to be what makes the play interesting. the mood is quite mysterious, and at times dreary and even awkward. The character i liked most and would like to be in the play is Joe. i like the emotions he goes through and portrays, and i just think he has an interesting personality worth exploring. The play has not been cast yet, but i suspect Taylor will give the part of Joe to Nick CS, while giving me Bill, who is a character i do not like very much, but i will do the job to the best of my ability if i get the part. Silva, and italian MALE character, might also be made into a girl which i think is weird, but i guess we do not have enough male actors so it will have to be done. either way, i think this is a play that we will be able to do quite well.
