Buried Child was a very strange play and so hard for me to understand what was going on. It was confusing, so I am not sure how well this post will be. I know it is going to be rather short.
Because of the confusion I have, I don’t think I really enjoyed the play. I understand that it is about a dysfunctional family and a baby that was murdered by the wife and husband that they ended up burying in the backyard. There is also a strange part where a twin came to the house and claimed to be their son and they didn’t remember him? Yeah, I just didn’t like this. I don’t even think I can relate it to a fairy tale.
“How much do you think Tilden understands?” — How much do I understand? Nothing. I understand nothing.”Language! I won’t have that language in my house” Language I don’t seem to understand. 😀
“We had a baby. Little baby. Could pick it up with one hand. Put it in the other.So small that nobody could find it. Just disappeared. We had no service. No hymn. Nobody came.” — Because ya’ll murdered it? *tongue click* or nah?
