THE HUNGER GAMES (not actually, but yea)

That's Myra in the front shaking hands.  The baby in the back is just the sheet folded to look like a baby.
Due to the excitement of THE HUNGER GAMES, I forgot to tell you about the play that I went to see on Thursday.  Based on the true story of Myra Bennett, Tempting Providence follows a nurse who has just moved to Newfoundland from England after the war.  She came upon hearing that medical help was needed.  The play started running 10 years ago (you think it would get tired...ha ha ha, get it?), and the same actor has played Myra from the beginning.  The two men (there are only 4 actors) have been with it for 9 out of 10 years.  The other girl has only been with them for a year.  Another interesting point is that the play is preformed with 6 props: 4 chairs, a table and a sheet.  Originally it was just done with the chairs and the table, but the sheet was added in there at some point.  It is amazing to watch the actors manipulate the objects into whatever they need their surroundings to be, whether it be a cradle with a baby or a garden with a fence.  Also, the actors never leave the stage.  There is a carpet that everything happens on.  If their character isn't needed (all of them except for Myra play multiple characters) they just stand at the edge of the carpet.  I think I will most likely just forget about this play due to THE HUNGER GAMES.  My friend went to go see THE HUNGER GAMES over the weekend, so I finally had somebody to talk about it with who wasn't there with me.  Another one of my friends is planning on seeing THE HUNGER GAMES tomorrow, so I will be able to talk to her about THE HUNGER GAMES then as well.  Saying THE HUNGER GAMES is so much fun. :)  Most likely thing to happen though is that THE HUNGER GAMES will fade into the background after a few weeks.  Maybe THE HUNGER GAMES will come back again when the DVD comes out, but other than that, you probably won't hear about THE HUNGER GAMES until November of next year.  That's when CATCHING FIRE, the sequel to THE HUNGER GAMES, comes out.
