A BUNCH OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN AS THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN EXPLORED THROUGH MYTHOLOGY, LITERATURE, ART, THEATER, DANCE, MUSIC, PHILOSOPHY, AND RELIGION
You're play is well written and actually made me laugh. I like how Hamlet was portrayed as a bit crazed and Siddhartha as naive, to the point that it was funny. The characters you chose to oppose each other was strategic, and worked well. I could tell you put thought into it. I liked the ending, because it made sense with the scene and the characters actions. The monologue that Siddhartha speaks acts as a closing, which worked well to end the play smoothly. Overall I really enjoyed your creativity!
From the second I heard your play idea I knew it would be my favorite play. I agree that your personal voice came out, and luckily you are very funny. I loved drawing the comparison between the incest that arises in both Oedipus and Hamlet. Having them drunk, except for Job, made them speak more freely and helped them talk in a more relaxed manner. Having them on a tv show also helped keep it focused and on the subject of life. All around great play, good job Delaney.
I LOVE your play. It's well written, hilarious, and portrays each character brilliantly. I love how you made each character speak fairly modern-like, but still displayed the individual views on life and what it means to be human. Your portrayal of Hamlet was great and humorous, and I loved how you incorporated Siddhartha's ideas. This was awesome! Props.
Delaney, I think you did a very excellent job at your play! You did a really good job making the characters sound unique and I think your setting was really interesting! You have a talent for writing and I found your play hilarious and very entertaining. I loved your nicknames that Hamlet used throughout the play he was my favorite because he was the funniest, your creativity and effort in this play is clearly present. Best of luck next year!
Brilliant topic. I wish I had thought of this first. It was really good and all of the characters had a chance to express their views. It was very eloquently written, which is awesome, except for one part: I totally imagined Gilgamesh as being less literate. To each their own I guess. I believe that you adequately fulfilled each requirement for the play and I hope you get a 100%.

This was a really good topic and I like how you made it into a comedy. It was really entertaining to read. The fact that you made them drunk is very creative because they are able to truly express their mind. The setting is also perfect and is a good choice given all the characters. As everyone else has said, you did a really good job giving each character a specific voice and accurately portraying their views. It is extremely well-written and really shows how much time you put into it.
Delaney, This was amazing and quite comical. I really enjoyed how you set this up, it was a very unique plot and structure. Personally, I believe that if the five of them ever got together, they would get along, but it was interesting to see the other perspective. Their views are so different from one another and their ideas of what it means to be human were varied because of their life experiences. One thing that I found a bit unclear was what Hamlet believes. I know you mentioned that he believes that to be human is to live, but is that because of the sorrow and bad fortune that he has had to deal with? Also, you are quite good at creative characterization. You made the characters seem ten times more interesting than they would on their own. Marvelous play!
