Question

Which is the last play you saw?

Answer in Brief

Solution

My most recent theatre experience was a fantastic production of "Hamlet." The crowd was taken in by the catching performances as the drama played out with an amazing passion on stage. Watching Prince Hamlet's existential battle and the play's examination of betrayal, revenge, and madness was incredibly exciting. It's a memorable event which highlights Shakespeare's work's timeless genius.

The eight other runners pulled up on their heels
The ones who had trained for so long to complete

The hundred-yard dash now reduced to a walk
And a banner above that said (Special Olympics)
Could not have been more on the mark.
That's how the race ended, with nine gold medals
They came to the finish line holding hands still
And a standing ovation and nine beaming faces
Said more than these words ever will.
