Tfw a middle aged man comes up to you and your friends after a play/musical and first asks why you watched the play and if it's for graduation preparation (you and your friends are all university students) and then asks if you understood the play (you read the source material) <_<
#that man. was annoying#we were actively talking about the play and exchanging critique and observations#and then this guy comes up from behind me and asks if we're students (who are often 'forced' to watch plays)#no man we were all there bc we wanted to and bc it sounded interesting#and then he comes with the 'but did you actually understand what was going on?' just bc it's based on a classic#yeah i read the book! that's why i wanted to see it!#and sure i had to explain some things to my friends bc they hadn't read it#but the play itself had characters summarize the plot sometimes. which in itself is a bit :/ but also means that it's complicated#and hard to follow if you don't know the source material. which... again. kind of not something you should want with your play#but like dude take your fancy clothes and don't judge us. just let us enjoy some theater#if anyone is curious it was der sandmann by eta hoffman. mostly well done. had some points i didn't like but over all solid#the music was good (rock operas are also really fun) and the set design was really impressive#personal
