Personal response to ‘The Price’ by Lena Kitsopoulou
My personal response to ‘The Price’ is that it’s a very weird play. I feel this mainly because in the main body of the play the action of selling and buying babies in my opinion is just puzzling and wrong.
To continue, the beginning of the play to me was quite steady, it looked like the family had a good and calm life then eventually the life the couple actually lived started to unravel, knowing that they struggle to pay the electricity bills and can hardly afford the woman to get her hair done. Their life living in squalor makes me imagine what it would be like if I was in that position and made me question what would I do. The end of the play was in my opinion quite rushed and confusing with the Man having a little monologue, raging at the checkout girl. However from this piece of characterisation and naming within the play I feel that for myself to have a chance to act as one of them, I could have many interpretations of their living and what gestus’ they give on stage.
