Hello Out There

This play was a very interesting read and there were a few aspects that I would like to highlight from it. The first is that the play incorporates an interesting story element which brings it into a full circle. It begins with Photo Finish saying, "Hello out there," and ends with Emily saying it as well, which I found to be very clever.

Another aspect of the play which I throughly enjoyed was how the playwright chose to not name the characters and refer to them as "Man" and "Girl" etc... Yet although that somewhat takes away from character development, the arbitrary names allows the characters to become more universal, and gives the audience a chance to name them themselves based off how they perceive them.

On a closing note, I researched the play and found out that it was once made into a short film, but I think it has alot of potential to be remade; it also wouldn't be that difficult of a play to produce.
