Provoking Thought

Today Louise and I saw Vertical Hour in SLC. We've also seen The Foreigner and Doubt this season. After the play, over cheese and crackers at my house, we discussed today's show. My daughter joined us and asked how it was.

It was weird to explain that none of what we've seen this year has been "entertaining". Each one has been an display of nuances, sociology, politics and performance that have evoked thought, discussion and sometimes simple puzzlement as to what exactly the writer or director wanted to impart to us. It has been almos like reading a classic.

My world has been expanded!
