Well last nights' high school play was pretty good. Too bad you weren't there Tobi. The play was called "Flowers for Algernon".
It's about a man with mental retardation named Charlie who wants to be smarter because he thinks he'll have more friends. So, doctors decide to try an operation on him to make his IQ increase. Before that though, they do a series of tests between him and a labratory mouse named Algernon. At first Charlie can't beat Algernon on the maze, but after many days finally beats Algernon after the surgery. Charlie begins remembering his past when he was younger. His mother was kind an incouraging until his sister Norma was born and she was reacting abusively towards him, while his father was trying to take control of the situation and give Charlie all the attention he needed until his wife, threatening him with a knife, finally put Charlie into a mental retardation clinic. Charlie also begins to realize that his friends were actually playing tricks on him and actually making fun of him. He becomes more and more attached to his teacher Alice and becomes romantically involved... or tries to until the "real Charlie" keeps coming around and showing him signs Charlie doesn't want them to be together. With that, Charlie becomes more mentally unstable and takes Algernon so they can find his parents. He tries his dad first, but his father doesn't recognize him and Charlie doesn't say who he is to his father because he wanted his father to remember him as he was before going to the clinic. Then Algernon starts acting up. He refused to eat and he'd even hurl himself at the walls like he was trying to commit suicide. Charlie takes him back to the lab he came from for tests. Then he finds out Algernon is losing his intellegance at the same rate he gained it and Charlie will end up the same way. Before he starts losing his intellegence, he goes to visit his mother, who is now mentally disturbed and bipolar who somewhat doesn't remember who he is, who says it's all his fault she's like this. She has to be taken care of by Charlie's younger sister Norma, who now apologized to him for being mean to him all those years. After the visit, he finds out Algernon has passed away and died and he buries him in a garden. Once Charlie reverts back to who he was before he became intellegent, he decides to go back to the retardation clinic he was once at and before he leaves, he places flowers on Algernon's grave.
It's pretty funny at some parts but it's also kinda sad if you saw the whole thing... wish I brought my digital camera to tape it... though the sound is pretty terrible
