The Cure for Love

For me this play started out a little slow, as french farses are not quite what I normally go and see.  The jokes here and there through-out the begining were about all that kept me going.  Then about a third of the way into this two act play I started to get into the plot.  I began to realize more of what was going on, what are some of the characters motivations, and where the tensions lie within the story.  Then the jokes became more humorous and play in all just really picked up.  At first I thought that I would have wished they started the play more in the middle of this developing action.  Yet, I soon realized that the bit of lead in at the begining was neccessary and the play was in fact started in the middle of the developing action.  In the end I would definitly say that I liked the play and would enjoy seeing it again, but part of me thinks that it was mainly the actors that really won me over rather than the play itself.  That may just be my taste in play style though, as I said, I don't normally watch french farses.
