The Price

The play 'The price' is the type of play Bertolt Brecht would of produced. This play is set in Greece during the finical meltdown this play it talks about the value of material things and how important it is it also comes across the point that in this modern day everything has a price eg the baby being brought as the super market. The respect from human life isn't as important anymore such as when they replace the healthy baby for a more disabled one then since its still too expensive to a dead child. I felt that this play shocked me how cruel people can be sometimes and that when people do things for others is it truly out of the kindness of their heart or are they gaining some type of reward out of it. I feel that the honesty of peoples actions have died out and everything now is about themselves this play also mentions how hard life is during the finical meltdown that everything has to be cut back on as in the play the woman mention about not being about to pay the electricity.
