Day 12 brings me another play I was completely unfamiliar with - Mamets Duck Variations.
My first impression of this show is two things: this is an experiment in Meisner as a playwriting exercise and second: it would be useful in a college setting because of it.
The show is two men on a park bench discussion life through the scope of ducks and things about ducks. It's... A bit wackadoo. But there ha go.
The structure of the show again lends itself to the college structure as it is 14 vignettes of these two men... Each one is some 3-5 pages and then it's a "new" day. Ah life.
Final verdict: I'm not in love with this one. Education is the home of this play I think and with good reason.
Next up: Might be an Athol Fugard play.
As always pleas make suggestions should you feel inclined, join me as you will! Thanks for reading. #PlayADay4May
