Present Slaughter Play Summary

I chose to attend the play called "Present Laughter" on Friday, March 2nd, at Fort Hays State University. It was a very well put on play and the actors did an phenomenal job. All the actors were very professional and seemed to be very well prepared. They also did a good job on the set by making the play seem very realistic to all the audience members that attended the play.

The point of attack occurs in Gary's living room on the first morning when he kicks Daphne out of his house. She cried and begged him to let her stay and she claimed that she loved him. Gary gave her the old "it's not you, it's me" speech. The action of this play would be all the events that involved Gary. The whole play Gary was talking about going to Africa for his trip and all of these side events kept happening. A man called Roland shows up and Roland is madly in love with Gary. He shows up multiple times at Gary's house and Gary really started to get annoyed and uncomfortable with Roland. This added a lot of funny moments in the play because Roland made everything awkward but yet funny and interesting. Gary also sleeps with another woman
