Eugene O'Neill

Do not forget that we start at 8:15 from now on.

Prepare a 2-3 minute long review of any performance you have recently seen (orally, you can read your notes, if you have some).

Read the following reviews. Think about the way the individual reviews are written. Which one do you prefer? What do you think are the proper traits of a review?

! Note: Do not focus on the differences between individual productions, but on the way the reviews are written.
