1. Arabella I think it was about helping the audience understand the

characters in a more varying way and look at them as a person
to acknowledge them as a person.

2. Daniell Found it interesting how he thought of a different word to talk

about historical events and how to look deeper in them.

3. Alessia Found it interesting how they found a difference between

dramatic and epic theater and used epic theater to make the
audience help question the play.

4. Maya Likes how he describes history as something that is transitory

and shows it is work by trying to break the 4th wall.

5. Keira She think its interesting that he regrets how his plays turned out.
