Well, that's what plays do to us don't they? They are a piece of art to are expressed in words that are carved meticulously written down by the playwright. And "Heartland" was no exception. The play was beautifully written by Jacob Rosen. It had a great message that I think everyone could relate to.
I think all plays, but especially this one; really execute on their intent. And what I mean by that is you walk in really knowing nothing about the play, but by the end of the play you really have a good handle on what it's about. For me, I didn't know what Heartland was about. It could've been about two men walking through a forest an discover the Land Of The Heart for all I know. But it wasn't. It was about a couple of guys. One guy, Phillip, who was gay (though honestly I couldn't tell) was in an abusive relationship with Sky, and in a all of a sudden turn of events, and although Ben wanted Bruce to have a successful future, Bruce commits suicide. So Sky ends up marrying someone else.
The moral of the play was that you should never make assumptions about people before you get to meet them. Phillip was definitely a one–sided person, and had some trouble staying in the relationship he was in.
But yes, assuming before you meet a person is not cool. Ive had trouble with that in my own experience. As a person with a disability, I've had people judge me before they get to me, and so yes, I related to this story very much.
