5.0 out of 5 stars
A stage play about an aging Priest and a risque student.,
By Gabriel Gardner (gabepride@aol.com) (Johnson City, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mass Appeal (Paperback)
A wonderful play.. having seen both the movie and a stage production of it, as well as having read the script, I'm willing to say it's one of the most powerful dramas I've ever seen. Its many comic moments are always delightful and surprising, but the audience's smile quickly vanishes when the comedy slams into all-too-familiar emotion like so many vibrant tropical fish bursting in water left too hot. (Those who are familiar with the play will get this reference. Those who have not, read it! The tropical fish monologue is without question one of the strongest moments, though with such an intense drama, it is hard to decide on a favorite scene.) I strongly reccomend it to fans of literature and drama alike.

A Decent Play,
By
This review is from: Mass Appeal (Paperback)
Mass Appeal is the story of a young seminary student who gets taken under the wing of Father Farley. Mark Dolson is young and head strong and devoted to his sense of right and wrong. I purchased this play in preparation of playing the role of Mark Dolson. Written I believe in the 1980s, the issue in Mark Dolson's past, which threatens to derail him on his journey to the priesthood- loses its punch when compared to more recent issues with the priesthood. The play however has much to say about remaining true to one's convictions. You'll find things to laugh at and moments to ponder as Mark tries desperately to winner over his congregation and hold onto his dream. It's a decent play and well worth the read.

Good play, but slightly lacking in punch,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mass Appeal (Paperback)
I found this play to be dramatic and have a reasonably strong plot, I just felt that the script itself was lacking a particular punch to it to make it truly great. I was surprised at how short it really was. If you're looking for something like "Doubt" don't expect it from this play. It is still good in its own way, but not quite as powerful as I was hoping it would be.
