I thought it was really interesting that the first two plays I went to last week both hinged on point of view. Of course,
Wicked tells the
Wizard of Oz story from the point of view of the Wicked Witch of the West, and boy do things look different through her eyes.
Three Days of Rain starts off with the adult children's view of their parents, and the second act goes back in time, revealing that the parents' actions and motivations were exactly the opposite of how the children had interpreted them. Plays like this remind me to be more careful of how I judge the actions of others. And it makes me wonder how often my own actions and intentions are totally misunderstood.
