My Immediate Thoughts Of Nation

My First Thoughts Of Nation Play

When first reading the play nation I was very confused, at some points I found it very difficult to keep up with what was going with in the play and what characters belonged were. However after re-reading the play a couple more times and doing some research into tribes and what certain objects symbolize e.g. The Crab I found myself highly enjoying the play. I think that what i enjoyed most about the play is the characters and different each of them were. I mostly enjoyed seeing Mau and Daphne's character grow as the play went on and see them begin to trust each other and depend on each other to help the nation grow together - it was very interesting to see them having to overcome the language barrier between each other and see them grow up from the young people they are into leaders of a nation. I also like the character of Locaha (my favorite) and how he'she'it represented evil on the island. One of the things that I didn't like about the play is that to some people the might be seen as very confusing as it took me a few tries to fully comprehend the play and it will have to be performed extremely well, carefully and clearly to make sure that the audience understand what is going on at all times during the play.
