More Fringe plays

I just saw two more Fringe plays.
The first one was “Real Time”. I really liked it. It was about a computer nerd who hooked up with a girl very different from him. It was funny, it was had good pacing, and still had drama. I think it is the best Fringe play I’ve seen this year. Which isn’t saying much.
It ran a bit long so I had to rush to my next play. This one was “Make Me” It was about a computer nerd who hooked up with a girl after getting a make over (and some other stuff). It was not as good. It wasn’t bad, but I left the theatre feeling depressed.
I saw two plays that dealt with people like me getting girlfriends. The first one seemed plausible. The second one seemed like a fantasy where girls are forward and want to date a nerd. They make getting a girlfriend look so easy. I wish it was that easy. Hence the depression.
In “Make Me” there was a discussion over pills that could get rid of shyness, The nerd in question didn’t want to take them. He said being shy was who he was, and he didn’t want to change that. He just wanted to stop being shy long enough to ask a girl out. I think my thought process has been very similar.
