www.broadwayworld.com: Against the backdrop of an endless, unwinnable war raging halfway across the world, and a polarizing president recklessly stoking the flames of racist backlash at home - a generation of young people rises up to demand change from a corrupt political establishment. It is October, 1969 and unbeknownst to the rest of the world, three 20-something radicals are busy planning the impending revolution from a quiet college town in Upstate New York. But when two strangers appear, disrupting the group's delicate balance, new dangers and old wounds threaten to tear the collective apart. By the Tony Award-winning writer of Dear Evan Hansen, Days of Rage is a timely new play about means and ends, ideals and extremes, and the perils of changing the world.

Some of my favorite articles to read are the articles which are reviews of shows that I have not heard of. This one I found particularly interesting because this show is about political and social issues between people in 1969, and while I was reading the description of the play I was not sure what time period it was set during and I knew that it could’ve been set in many different times while addressing the same issues, even today. And my favorite kind of shows are the ones where people today can relate to them and learn from them, so this show is particularly interesting to me. I also like this article because I feel like more often than not the reviews that are advertised in articles are mostly positive but this article was different because so many of the reviewers that were quoted here left the show wanting more and did not have to positive things to say about it. I really enjoy reading the honest opinions about shows and what these reviewers specifically think could be changed or worked on to improve the overall show, like changing the way it is written to weave in time travel or to change the set so it isn’t so loud and clunky during scene changes.
