‘’Cookies’’ is the name of the play, performed by the Oostpol theatre Group. It’s a play about
Mark, he is feels that being himself is not good enough to become a better person . He thinks
that eventually it will not be enough is he will remain being himself.
He wants to have a better life, with a better job, more money to spend, and just to be
happier. To do this he changes his appearance, and becomes a different person so to speak.
Throughout the play he starts to learn that he never had to change the way he was, because
that only changed things for the worse. And that he would only have to be himself, to
achieve the things he desperately wants to achieve.
I wanted to see this play because it caught my attention when I came across it . When I did a
little research I found out that the play actually sounded very nice, and made me want to go
and see it. The fact that it stopped by in front of our school is just a perfectly timed
coincidence.
The storyline is very good, and portrays a very important message for the targeted audience,
which will make them learn something about life, intentionally or unintentionally, which is to
always be yourself, and never change your ways to please others.
However, the play itself was a little hard to understand sometimes. Random events
happening in random orders, seemingly not chronological order of the entire timeline of the
play, makes it confusing at times. However, this is made up for by the humour in the play,
and by the references, that only teenagers may understand.
I thought it was a very nice play to visit. The actors performed the play flawlessly, and they
perfectly got to grip the audience’s attention, even when the audience was slightly
confused. The actors did an outstanding job, and really got to entertain the audience. It was
a very funny and interesting play to visit, for it had many funny elements, and a lot of
interesting events too. The play learned me to always be yourself no matter what, and made
me appreciate the art of theatre a bit more.
After seeing what the actors were capable of, I would definitely like to see more of them and
their performances. I hope that someday I will be able to witness another performance like
this, and that it will be as great as this one. Many thanks to the amazing Oostpol Theatre
group!
