Virgins

Introduction:

The play "Virgins" is a production of the Vienna English Theatre. It starts with an amusing dance by the actors which play Zoey, Jack, Suzie and Nick. Then the main play goes on with Zoey who writes in her diary about a party she've been. The happenings of this party will release the main conflicts of the story, because Jack did something bad and though he asks her sister Zoey not to tell it their father Nick she does. And Nick gets very angry in addition to his anger about his wife Suzie, because she works too much yet she doesn't have enough time for Nick. And so the play goes on ...

conclusion/bottom line:

Even though they had many conflicts to solve, they found together at the end of the play. Jack forgives Zoey that she told Nick about his problem with the two girls, Suzie promises that she will have more time for Nick in future and Nick release that Jack isn't just a stupid youngster like he was. My opinion is that the play remains of a normal family life. The teenagers are rebellious do wrong things, the parents quarrel about things f.i. too less time for each other. So, to conclude, the play seems to be a kind of reality show.

Dry your eyes

“Dry your eyes“ is a song written by “The Street“.
In the first stanza we can see that the lyrical I is sad and depressed about the fact that his girlfriend split up their relationship. The chorus shows how a good friend tries to comfort the love victim. The second stanza tells us how his life crashes and how he tries to get her back again by begging. He’s of the opinion that his life is empty without her. He wants to change what happened, but he isn’t able to. Finally he tells her that in past it was hard for him to tell her things, but the more he tells her the more she pulls away.
My interpretation of this song is that men can also be hurt by women.
