Document Summary
Bonn show review: annie baker"s circle mirror transformation. Although taking place in the imaginary town of shirley, vermont, annie baker"s circle. Mirror transformation couldn"t be any more realistic to how relationships actually develop in the real world. Several of baker"s other plays such as the aliens and body awareness similarly take place in this uniquely abstract, made-up town1. However, her seemingly unrealistic inventiveness and imagination hardly take away from her plays" accurate portrayal of society. Circle mirror transformation follows four participants of a creative drama class . Schultz, theresa, lauren, and james as well as the class"s colorful director, marty. Schultz is a recently divorced carpenter who struggles in social interactions, while theresa, a former actress and hopeless heartbreak herself, is a genuine and respectful young woman. During the course of the acting class, the two get caught up in a romantic relationship.
