Pretty Theft by Adam Szymkowicz
3.0

Another play I had to read for a class and it was such an enjoyable, if some times confusing, read!

We follow Allegra and Suzy as they navigate their own problems as well as their new found friendship. At the same time, we are introduced to Joe, an autistic guy who loves ballet and Marco, a con man who's looking for his next big "job".

All of these people make a very intriguing array of characters, and the conversations they have are very interesting and some of them are definitely worthy of a double take.

My favourite character would have to be Allegra, I saw quite a lot of myself in her and it's the character I also picked for my performance in class. I found her very complex and interesting, a girl trying to find her own voice in a sea of people deemed, by her, more worthy or more interesting.

Overall, it's a play I would really love to see a production of, Szymkowicz seemed very set on the way he would like for it to be directed and I believe it would be a very intriguing and peculiar performance!
