After a really boring day at school, me and my friends went to see Look Back In Ager, a play written by John Osborne. It was performed in british english and the cast was all british.
We finished school at 12:25 today, so after school we had some time to go to the beach, eat some ice-cream and chill out a little. We arrived at the theater at 15:25 and the play started five miutes later. The theater was full of young people, since the play would be part of our high school final exams next year. The small theater of Koper (the city I live in) gave a really unformal and warm atmosphere to the whole action and made us feel really chilled.
It started with an introduction from the director of the play - David Hampshire. The play is a story with 5 scenes and it is about the main character Jimmy Porter (Anthony Topham) who obviously is suffering from a bad childhood and a lack of adult, maternal and strong figure in his youth. Jimmy is a twenty-some year old guy, married to Alison (Carole Carpenter) who is an apathic, silent wife who is affraid to express her thoughts and feelings while Jimmy is never content with what he has in his life and is always bitching about everyone around him. The story basically shows us different sides of Jimmy's personality and how his will changes constantly and his mood is highly unstable.
The play was actually really really well played. I discovered the actors were actually interesting persons, since I went to congratulate them after the show. I'm glad I spent my money to go and see this and I'm glad british actors for the first time came to Slovenia and put up a play for us - students. I hope we'll be able to see many many more things like this.
Now I'm home, I had my lunch and after this blog I'll have to go back to study. My time out of the real world is finished for today. Thank you very much.
