Dinner with Friends
            
            
             In the play Dinner with Friends, the main conflict was between Beth and Tom.
            
             This is revealed in the first scene while having dinner at Karin and Gabe's house. Beth
            
             cries out about Tom not loving her anymore and wanting to divorce her. She confides
            
             in Karin and Gabe which leads to the secondary conflict. The secondary conflict is
            
             Karin and Gabe now having to figure out how to deal with their friends and now their
            
             own marital problems now that it has been brought to a front.
            
            
             The complications in this story reveal that life is short and once you are married
            
             it starts comming to an end. This is shown in the scene betweeen Karin and Gabe when
            
             they are lying together in bed and Karin shares her nightmare wit Gabe. They then
            
             realize that the spice in their marraige is no longer when he tries to frighten her the way
            
             he used to when they first married by saying boo and she isn't frightened at all. You
            
             also no longer are able to live a carefree enjoyable life in that all you live for is your
            
             kids and for them to have an enjoyable life. This is shown by both Beth and Tom when
            
             they were defending their case to Karin and Gabe. In my opinion it also goes to say that
            
             all good things come to and end, such as life and marraige which all start out great then
            
             start to fade.
            
            
             For a basic review of the actors and the acting in this play, I would say that it
            
             was superb. The actors were very on point and every actor nailed their character and
            
             portrayed them very well. The four main characters in this story were Karin and Gabe,
            
             and Beth and Tom.Beth and Tom was the couple going through the divorce. Tom
            
             playedan angry, upset , and also flirtatious lawyer. Beth played a sad, lonely, artistic
            
             house wife. My favorite characters were Karin and Gabe. Karin and Gabe were
            
             supposedly a happy couple, they were very verbose on the subject o...
