okay...I'm kinda, but not really, understanding what the heck is going on here...
where are we at? in Ireland, got that, but what time and who is invading?? I understand that they speak English, so my guess would be England because Lancey is telling them that they (Irish people) should feel "privileged" (34)...but Owen doesn't translate all the information? why?
and then the final comments between Owen and Manus...anyone else thinking Shakespeare!?
and, of course, every play has to have romantic drama....Manus and Maire...I can see how this one is going to play out: starts off as an argument, some problem that lets everyone know that a romantic relationship is present...a problem arises (probably in this case the "Royal Engineers") and they make it through together and realize they are perfect for eachother and they will stay together and live "happily ever after"... yea, okay

i totally agree on the romantic tension between Manus and Maire. and Manus was almost caught being really close to Sarah right when Maire walks in, so that definitely would have caused more drama if they are together. hopefully this doesn't end up being too cheesy romantic.
ReplyDeleteI liked you prediction about the relationship between Manus and Marie! After finishing the play I'm sure you will be happy that it is not a cheesy romantic play.
