Michael and I had a very interesting discussion about the Presidential Debate and the connections that can be drawn to the Brady/Drummond relationship. To his credit, Michael watched the whole debate, despite not understanding all of the issues. I stressed the importance of paying attention to how the candidates presented themselves as much as the substance of what they said. I then tied it all back into the Brady/Drummond dynamic of the play. We then began Act 2, which has the signature line of the play. We discussed various interpretations of the proverb and why it would be used as the title of the play. Michael's reading is improving somewhat as he gets used to the style and content, but he's still struggling.
