2019.11.23. Sonnets for an Old Century

11/23, Saturday, 8pm. Went to the 2nd performance of Sonnets for an Old Century by Cornish College of Arts students at Raisbeck Performance Hall, former Norway Hall - my first time in the building. More than 30 students + maybe faculty members acted in this play by Jose Rivera. Not a traditional play: no plot, no central story, rather a collection of essays or "sonnets" being read out loud by individual actor, no dialog. Each very different from another. No stage real stage set. Some use of lighting. A couple of songs. I'm not sure I like this type of plays, not to discredit the kids. All very well done.
