The Sound of a Voice was the perfect story about what isolation can do to people. As serious as this story was, I took it very lightly. I almost took it as a joke. I looked at it like it was a reality TV show like Big Brother. Put two middle-aged lonely people of the opposite sex in a house together and see what happens LOL. The man and the woman have a lot in common. They're both don't enjoy solitude, they're both lonely, and they're too scared to get hurt by love. Both characters have a lot of mystery to them. They are both very polite and even kind to each other. They have identical traits and identical flaws. I'm telling you, this is the perfect scene for a reality TV show. Better than Jersey Shore, Big Brother, and Survivor. On a more serious note, this play was very somber and sad. It was the true epitome of isolation. Malcolm knows quite a bit about isolation as he spent several years in prison.
Me: So what do you think, is isolation that bad?
X: It really is, but it's an opportunity to find yourself.
Me: Do you think isolation helped or made things worse for the characters in Sound of a Voice?
X: Definitely worse. There is no way that people can remain sane in the conditions they were in. Especially not you Idris, you're soft and you like to hear yourself talk too much.
Me: Wow, Thank Malcolm
X: Shut up bro
