Sure Thing

First of all, I love this play! Back in high school my drama teacher asked us to put on a short play for class, my friend Dennis and I did this. (It was kind of rough but I think everyone still enjoyed it) Obviously, Bill and Betty are the classic people who find themselves sitting at a cafe table together. The play begins and Bill tries to have a sit at Betty's table while she is currently involved in a book by Faulkner. The bell sounds whenever the conversation goes south or does not turn out in the way the romantic reader would hope. Most likely this play was written as a comedy to make fun of the typical cafe scene. Different scenarios prove to the audience that not every single person in a cafe is either looking for love, friendship, a hook up or new acquaintance. Some real life situations are not the happy endings. The bell is probably the single most important prop within this scene. It is the tone that signals the audience to back up and move forward to a different outcome. This short scene is found amusing by many different types of audiences, mostly young adult. Perhaps the ages of the characters were chosen to relate to the best type of audience. All in all, the play was wonderful and funny, a great scene to lighten up the dull unrealistic cafe scene of reality.
