Play

I Need that. Theater Review.
"I Need That" at American Airlines Theatre involves the life of Sam (Danny DeVito), his best friend, Foster (Ray Anthony Thomas) and his daughter, Amelia (Lucy DeVito). Sam is a hoarder and a hermit; he hasn't cut his lawn for eight months and the inside of his house looks as bad as the outside. Theresa Rebeck who wrote this play brings into question about how a man chooses to live his life. Sam has no TV, no phone and he seems happy living his life; nothing seems to outwardly bother him. He misses his dead wife Ginny, she too hated to throw anything away.

Through various literary devices such as metaphors, similes, irony, sarcasm, characterization, soliloquies, and moments of madness and humor, Shakespeare reveals the complexity of human nature in all its glory and misery.

However, it is essential to address and challenge some of the assertions Johnson made in his analysis.

In the grand tapestry of human history, few figures shine as brightly, yet remain as mysterious, as Joan of Arc. A heroic legend, a faith-driven warrior, she has captivated hearts and minds for centuries, transcending time's barriers. Bernard Shaw's play "Saint Joan," set in 1929 and the transformative year of 1431, invites us to rethink our view of this iconic historical figure.
