[edit] Poor, just poor
This article - specifically the opening paragraph - needs major cleanup - whoever wrote it should be ashamed.
[edit] Overacting
I think your just overacting. I think this article is useful and well written. It has helped me with my Drama GCSE considerably. Captaindansplashback 20:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Themes
I've deleted this section, simply because, for lack of a better description, it seems pointless and meaningless. Only one of them is actually a "meaning" and the less said about "morals" the better.
- Nature Or Nurture
- Superstition And Class
- Marilyn Monroe
- Dancing
- Secrets (Dramatic Irony)
- "Nature V Nurture", Fair enough, this is a major thematic and philosophic concern of the play.
- "Superstitition and Class" seems a rather random pairing, both factors are certainly in the play, but together?
- "Marilyn Monroe" is used as a metaphor in a song which is then reprised twice. She's not an active concern.
- "Dancing" ... this is used as a metaphor in the song "Marilyn Monroe", but uh... wha?
- "Secrets (Dramatic Irony)", right, there are secrets, and?

I must say I'm still extremely dubious as to the emrit of the "Themes" section, even if it is now far more presentable. It seems rather superficial, and unless they're elaborated on, just a bit pointless. Either examples are needed, or a comment on what about the theme the play examines. Otherwise it just looks silly. --Orias 21:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that the "Themes" section could be improved (or eliminated). Ideally, I think a paragraph or two should be added to the article discussing the show's sources, themes and impact (perhaps using the RENT (musical) article as an example. I can try to write this, soon. Burnley 01:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
