Floyd Marshall's "The Conversation"

I checked out a play in Philly yesterday called The Conversation. I don't do plays often. I
am glad I did this one. It is a story about 5 women who meet and discuss everything.
They talk careers,expectations and ideas. They mainly discuss relationships and what
their options are with men .Do they sound like some of the women you know?
The writer of the play is Floyd Marshall. He did a good job with this. The storyline
rarely centers on any one of the characters without allowing the others to share stage time.
This allows the audience to follow the character that they connect with thru out the play.
The characters that I connected with were the lawyer, Pam and Tina.
The lawyer was smart and will to try new things in her quest for romance.She was successful
but not fulfilled in the dating department.
Pam was adventurous and sought an alternative lifestyle in her pursuit of happiness. She
balanced her role admirably in a combative confrontation that takes place in the middle of the
play.
Tina is the player of the group. She wants to meet Mr.Right but wants him to fit a certain
mode. She eventually shift her stance to giving a man a chance to prove himself worthy of
her time and affection.
All five of the characters are attractive women. The roles are played with urban flavor and
have strong exchanges that are heated. Marshall is able to keep it all together. This play
reminded me of the movie "Think Like A Man" by Steve Harvey. If you enjoyed that movie,
I would recommend to you "The Conversation".

More about Floyd Marshall can be found by Google and LinkedIn. He has another play called
"The Rebuttal" and is associated with Gazelle Films.
