I really enjoyed seeing this bit of history which I did not know much about before. I also felt that the performance did a good job of explicitly connecting the events in the play to current day.
-
The performance surprised me in that it brought these historic characters to life, and to my life. Somehow they were relatable in a contemporary way, and the struggle became real for me.
-
Both the play and discussion really drove home the inequalities that still exist today. The relationship between Douglas and Anthony was also surprising and powerful.
-
Anthony and Douglas both learned from one another because they were both able to express themselves and disagree sometimes. This is something we lack often in our current discussions.

The choices for AIM performances bring up issues that we all should be aware of, and it facilitates open and honest discussion in a forum where it is invited and welcomed. It also gives students and other UR community members a chance to connect, to network; more importantly to engage in the arts.

The experience of the actors and research they did to prepare for the play was insightful. I think the atmosphere was comfortable enough to invite all participants to share.
