March 3rd: Polly Honeycombe
I thought the performance of Polly Honeycombe was really interesting, I had a copy of the play that I couldn't read well so my only resource was the performance.
I thought it was really interesting that theatre in the 18th century, the audience was more rowdy and participatory. I didn't expect that. It reminds me of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in the way that the audience participates.
Polly reminded me of Arabella in a way, she was so determined to find who she really wanted to marry, and she went out of her way to do so. I thought that her character was really fascinating. In the performance, I thought each character was portrayed well.
I struggled to find something I really connected with in this though, so apologies for the entry being shorter.
