2) "3 Innocents and a Spirit"
The presentation of "Three Innocents and a Spirit" was very moving and informative. The stylized form of the play was effective. It focused on the players rather than their words. Anyone could understand the meaning and the information of the play. It's designed for any culture, language and education level. I also enjoyed how compact each time period was. It made it easy to follow and my attention didn't stray. The addition of the pirating in the Caribbean in the 1500's was an intelligent idea and it was also informative. It's a form of colonization that many people don't know about or just tend to forget about. The inclusion of the Saint Mary's student was smart. It showed someone totally willing to learn and participate in others' [experience]. This in turn helped to show how unwilling to learn and participate in the cultures the British were. The student's part in the end showed how the youth of today are going to remember. The end of the play about reconciliation was beautifully done. The red ribbon was a simple yet effective symbol for al the bloodshed and pain that was left all over the world throughout history. In all, this presentation was very effective in teaching as well as stirring strong emotions.
