The Boycott

I saw the play "The Boycott" and personally, I would have to say that I am somewhat disappointed. I appreciate what Kathryn Blume is attempting, and her desire "to find a bright flame of hope for herself, for her audience, and for the future of the world" however the play itself wasn't exactly what I had expected. The creativity of the play was great, and it was obvious that Blume put a lot of time and effort into making it just right, however I felt that it was almost too much. For one, the comparison between Lysistrata and her current performance was extremely faint and I would've preferred a more noticeable resemblance. Also I feel that she had a lot of substance to the play much of which, although it was humorous, was unnecessary and digressed from the main purpose of the play. Frequently during the play I was confused because it was difficult for me to distinguish between some of the accents. On the other hand, I found particular points of her performance humorous. For example, the scene including Ghandhi and the scene where she made an allusion to "Lord of the Rings". Overall, I do not regret going because I feel it contributed to a good purpose.
