The Voysey Inheritance

Overall, I enjoyed our trip to the Denver Center of Performing Arts. I thought the tour before the play was the most interesting. It was cool to see the process and how much work really goes into a play. I never realized how much thought and planning it takes for a show to be successful.

I wasn't really happy with the actual play. Although I thought the acting was really good, the story line was very hard to follow. It would have been nice to know more about the play, like the background information, beforehand. Because it was so much dialogue and so many characters, it was hard for me to keep track of everything. Too many characters were introduced too soon in the play and the ending was very unclear. I felt like nothing was really resolved in the end.

I think it's interesting to see that it is very relevant to us. Even though the play was set in the 1900s, many schemes and "deals" happen more today than they probably did back then. I also think it is not considered as big of a deal now as it was then, which shows the track of our society.
