watching the clouds go by...

"look at the sunset... the clouds look as if they're on fire."

one simple line, many implications.

heart-wrenching melodrama, interesting presentation.

what else did u expect from his script? ben was absolutely right... the script was amazing. the presentation was... a school production. but good enough, among the pool of resources.

escapism? presentation? confrontation? what do theatre students want to achieve in presenting their own scripts on stage, acting out others', and watching any?

what do you want?
