Warriors Don't Cry

Warriors Don't Cry was a powerful one woman piece centered around the themes of integration, perseverance and self worth. The piece was really interesting and I was so impressed by the actor's ability to captivate the audience all on her own. It was amazing how she was able to maintain her energy and stamina the whole hour without the support of anyone but herself. The story itself was both powerful and depressing. It made me think and challenged my perspective on the privilege of education. I think that the minimal set was really effective for the play, it was simple so the audience could focus on the content. The most interesting part of the show was the actors ability to encompass and embody so many characters. She was able to switch between the voices so fast and I could really see the characters as different people. The actress was a great story teller, she allowed me to see different settings and characters in the same scene which was something I find so impressive. Being able to expierence a peace of literature put to stage verbatim was a new and valuable expoerience for me as an actor, I enjoyed the show throughly.
