Am I Blue by Beth Henley

"I am Blue Beth Henry and I am blue" is a one - off drama written by Southern female playwright Beth Henry. Henry wrote the first drama when he was 20 years; it may also be a drama reflecting her way to adulthood.

As an author of Am I Blue, Beth Henley and the 17 - year - old hero John Polk will sit alone at the bar to start the drama. John meditated on the red and black cards in his hand. On the street, a 16 year old girl named Ash is sitting next to him. She stole two ashtrays from a local hotel so she hid under the raincoat. Ash is an adult and started talking with John soon. Through ongoing questions, Ashbe learned that John is in brotherhood. John acknowledged that the brothers did not solve his problem, as the brothers told him. Ash noticed a red reservation card and asked why John had a reservation with a prostitute. "Yes, I want to give a treat to myself" John replied (line 50). Ashbe knew about the girl 's date and explained the girl' s appearance. John commented that he needs to go to a cheap bar so that he can stay drunk. Ash said she had a cup of rum and invited John to her apartment.

For years, critics have opposed Beth Henry's status as a feminist writer. Jonnie Guerra said, "Henley failed to improve the positive image of the woman, relying on American dramas to dominate male traditional forms and patterns, lacking imagination." (Burke, 193) At the feminist theater, Helene Keyssars wrote: Henry's play (soul crime) is a constructive resource, but this will be ruined by her sister's own behavior. For her, Beth Henry said:

Actually I have an idea, I am playing for a while. I want to use it as a stage or movie. This will be another adaptation of Beth Henry's play mistake firecracker contest. Thomas Schlamme oversaw a very good movie version that starred Holly Hunter in the late 80's, but my idea was to take a central character - a gorgeous, energetic young woman in a small town in the south There was, and she was despised, but he decided to participate in the beauty contest. In most communities - and transforming roles. I know there are a few small adjustments needed here and there and I can only deal with inputs from transformers but I assume that the source material is very suitable for that idea think.
