US Drag #2

I finished reading this play and I decided I like it very much because it is irreverent and funny and it portraits people exactly as they are. I think this is the most amusing thing about the play. The characters are sometimes so incredibly similar to a cartoon and yet you know they are believable because it happens you know people who are exactly like that. The characters in the play may be living in a huge city where anything can happen, but that makes them only obscure figures whose lives and problems are laughable and forgettable. They must take every opportunity they have to catch their five minutes of fame, even if it means lying and inventing fake "angst." They want to be taken into account, live under the light and attention from other people, be heroes... but they are so insignificant, they invent suffering they didn't know to end up being pitied, not admired. This play is just a big mirror, when we discover which reflection looks like us, we have to choose... either you cry or start laughing. Or you may hate the whole thing, but you can not be indiferent.
