After seeing Abingdon Square for the first time, I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. I had never seen or heard of this play, and I wasn’t sure what to expect, as background information about this play was hard to find. I was extremely pleased by this performance and left the theater thinking about the play, which is exactly what the playwright must have intended. The director’s concept is something that I have struggled back and forth with since I saw the play. At times, I feel that he was trying to portray Marion as the victim due to her immaturity and inexperience, and at others, I feel that Juster was the victim as he was betrayed by Marion. It seems that both were victims of each other, with Marion being trapped at fifteen by her marriage to an older man and Juster falling in love with a woman that couldn’t share his love because of her immaturity. In evaluating the way that the director portrayed the characters, I tend to move more towards Marion being the victim because she always had a naïve and tender way about her due to her tone and body language.
