First 表示中 on Valentine’s Day, the play is about a 14-year-old, Jenny, chasing a man twice her age (literally- he’s 28 years old), while her もっと見る subdued friend, Emily, starts a romance with a boy who’s closer to her age.
What makes Jenny interesting is that she acts like a typical rebellious teenager. She smokes, eats too much ジャンク food, and lies to her mom about watching horror flicks. Meanwhile, her friend Emily, is もっと見る subdued in her behavior, and sometimes even calls her out on her actions. For example, when the girls are discussing horror flicks, Jenny tells Emily that she watches them behind her mom’s back- whereas Emily’s mom knows exactly what she watches.
The main reason for Jenny’s rebellion, though, is that she feels attention-starved. At one point, she tells her friend Emily, “I dream the 日 someone from “Star Search” comes to my class, and whispers in my teacher’s ear, “I’m here for Jenny!”” Like most girls her age, she’s dazzled によって the glittery life, but is もっと見る fixated on it than other girls. She even compares herself to pop singer Samantha Fox, when putting on makeup for her boyfriend.
The two main male characters in the play, Joseph and Adam, appear to be a male version of Archie Comics’ “Betty and Veronica.” Joseph is the clean-cut, reliable “nice guy” who goes to church with Jenny, whereas Adam is the dark, edgy rocker guy who thinks that middle school is pure hell. However, things are not as they seem- despite seeming pleasant to Jenny at first, even getting her a cake for her 15th birthday, Joseph turns out to have a darker side, as he hates his life and furiously takes it out on Jenny, even though she’s just a kid.
In fact, the reason he acts angry at Jenny is because he’s envious that Jenny has もっと見る of her life ahead of her, whereas he feels unfulfilled in his job and life. “When you’re fifteen, the future seems…endless!” Meanwhile, Adam is もっと見る benevolent despite his “hardcore” appearance- he and Emily 表示する genuine concern when Jenny goes missing, shortly before her 15th birthday. He even feels guilty about a girl getting seriously hurt on a swing, just because he was on the same swing, even though it wasn’t his fault and happened a long time ago.
All in all, despite being a “romantic” play, it’s もっと見る dark than it appears.
