It was a really good experience. It also explains that the time that we have in the world and that is not that much and should be spend living it how you want not how they want you to live it because its your life and your decisions.

It was cool even do we had bad seats. I like there performance in the stage. I also like the sound Effects since I was all the way in the corner I was able to see the people play the piano, small and big violin. It show how little time each people had in this world and life can be taking away from you with in a split second. Also Bonnie and Clyde had true happiness. They love each other and let know one stand in there way except for death.

My opinion about the play is it was very cool. I really liked the way the theathere was set up . The seat I had was ok, eventhough I was in the front row I got a seat that I couldnt really see the play very well. A part i really liked from the play was when they started shooting, the sound effect was cool. Everyone got scared n jumped up since no one expected it to sound so loud. The blood also looked very realistic, the characters made it look even better since tthey acted so welll. The part of the play I didnt like was when Bonnies mom gets on her knees and begs her to go home with her but she doesntgo with her. Bonnie choses Clyde over her mom i think this really suxxed. Bonnie was everything her mom had until she decide to run away with Clyde.

I tought that the play was extraordinary it really had me caught up in the momment. My favorite characters where buck and blanch, buck was one of them because he was so dumb but funny at the same time. Blanch was another one of them because she reminded me of the grandmother of hannah montana. There voice projected exactly alike, she kept on surprising me the whole time. The theater was very awsome i liked how they did the whole back in the day look, and also the images that were on the messed up wood, it made it seem very realistic. I liked when the police officers where singing the song im a man of the something. The part that i didn’t like at all was when blanch was asking buck to go back to jail, even tough that would have been for the best, watching him go back would not have been good at all.
I tought that “what is happiness” and “what is love” relates to the play the most because bonnie and clyde where the perfect example of them both. When ever they were with eachtoher they were the happiest people ever. Even though they argued about their differences they didn’t stop loving eachother because they knew that when being in love there will come moments where they wont always agree with eachother, and they will have to learn how to deal with it.

I though that the play was really good and everything seems to be really well organize. It was good because we were sitting in front and we could see everything which was really interesting. I like the actors they seem that they had put a lot of work and they been practicing for the longest. But the ones that did it really good were Bonnie and Clyde, I like their acting a lot because they were good actors and also because since Bonnie got in love with Clyde, she didn’t want to get separated from him. She wanted to be with him for ever, she wanted to get marry and have a family. Well I thing that “what is happiness?” and “what is love?” relates to the most because when they are togther they are both happy and they fill love for ech other. It doesn’t matter if they have argues but they love each other no matter what people sy or if someone oppose into them. When her mom tells Bonnie to go back with her Bonnie says no, she wants to be with clyde for ever and have a family.

In the beginning I think we all thought the play was stupid. Going to watch the paly was going to be boring and it was going to be a waste of time. However, everyone’s perspective was changing as soon as we entered the play and the first act was starting. The La Jolla Playhouse was beautiful. The seats were a little to hard though. The stage was built weird but the actors made it work. I really enjoyed our front row seats because they were spectacular. That I loved the most was that they talked as if they were in present tense, not past. They would cuss at each other which really caught everyone’s attention.
I think the play relates to the big question, “What is Happiness” and “Do bad things happened to good people?” Because Bonnie is constantly looking for her happiness. She later finds out that she will never be happy if she’s not looking at her lover, Clyde. Even though Clyde does not make the right decisions, he and Bonnie seem to love their life as running prisoners. The question “Do bad things happened to good people?” also comes into the play because Bonnie and Clyde were good people, they just made bad decisions. I think bonnie and Clyde would have said that they were in love and that they didn’t care about anyone feelings because they were happy.
