Writing Final Test

It is not a secret, movie theaters took the place of theaters themselves. Maybe because of technology, or maybe because of people’s bad experiences they had by not being satisfied after a play. Well something is sure for me, if I was somebody who never went to the theater before on the day that the play Tryst occurred, I would probably be motivated to return again to the theater sometime soon. So, I obviously think that Tryst should win the award for the best play of the year, first because of its touching story and then because of the great acting job.

Firstly, I have found Tryst’s story very emotional and touching. The way it was written, it is a well balanced scenario which kept the public suspended between laughs and tears. The play tells the story of Adelaide, a girl who has a naïve perception of things and George, a manipulator man who goes from a woman to another to steal their money to make his living. Obviously, Adelaide falls into George’s net until he can flee his way out of his own trap. The way how the story progresses at every second in a very fast way did not create a problem of incoherence among the scenes. It seemed normal and was yet easy to follow for me. The way George’s infallible plan returns against himself just because of Adelaide, a woman he thought he would never had a problem to fool is completely delightful and unexpected.

Secondly, I think that the acting was a master job. The fact that both characters are often speaking to the public on their point of view about the situation, creates a certain proximity between them and the public, and it is a lot more easier for them to make us feel the emotions of their characters. For example, Adelaide is so simple and naïve and when she is standing on the stage, all alone, speaking open-hearted, it is easy for the public to establish a contact with the actor. The character of George is completely hateful indeed, but when he is doing a monologue it is hard for the public not to laugh. Even if he is odious, when he speaks to the audience, he is yet interesting. In my honest opinion, it is a proof that the comedians were doing a great job. They also well managed to simulate and keep a great and realistic British accent while saying all their lines without difficulty.

From the entertaining beginning of the play to its tragic ending, Tryst is one of the best plays I had the chance to see in my life. The story was well balanced between the two worlds of the strong characters and the acting by the comedians was faultless. This is enough reasons for me to think that Tryst should win the best play of the year award.
