Anyways, AP World Lit and AP British Lit traveled to the vicinity of Navy Peer via three buses. Being told to bring my Nintendo DS, Ali Arfeen and I took the liberty to hone our RTS strategy by playing Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. Although we paid the consequences physically through our back pain for the rest of the day, It was definitely worth the suffering.
The play we saw today, contrary to what you may have guessed, is not part of the Shakespeare Production. Rather, it is by Peter Shaffer. Amadeus is the name. Being loosely based on the lives of the composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. Amadeus was inspired by Mozart and Salieri, a short play by Aleksandr Pushkin and later adapted into an opera of the same name by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Shaffer then adapted the play for a film released in 1984.
I was quite surprised but pleased by the appropriate usage of foul language. Through some actions that is completely out of the league of the field known as common sense, the actors vividly brought laughters and smiles in the atmosphere and successfully kept our attention throughout the entire play. Which, if I may say, is an extraordinary feat. I strongly recommend this play to anyone because the play itself definitely made the field trip completely worth it.
On the downside, we didn't get to stay outside in Navy Peer for too long because the play itself is about a little over three hours. With that said, that left us about 15 min to walk around Navy Peer under the beautiful sky and fantastic wind after we ate our food with much haste. Nonetheless, it is quite nice to take a day off from school and enjoy ourselves. I feel refreshed and ready to roll once again for the hard days ahead ^_^

Oh man, honing our skills was epic. But that play kept us so intrigued we could not fine tune them in the theater. Good stuff, though.

P.S. You spelled Navy Pier wrong.
