Seeing A Play on My Birthday
I am planning on seeing a play on my birthday. I am thinking about seeing the Witches at the Los Altos Stage Company on my birthday. It is an adaption of a Roald Dahl novel and in 1990, the novel was adapted into a film starring Anjelica Huston and Rowan Atkinson. I have read some of Roald Dahl’s other works such as the BFG, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Matilda, and Danny: Champion of the World. However, the Witches is more aimed towards children and my next birthday is going to be my twenty-sixth birthday, so I may be a little too old to be seeing this play. The thing is that the play is going to be in Los Altos, California and I live in Danville, which is an hour northeast of Los Altos. So it is going to take an hour to get home from Los Altos if I see the play.
Because I am autistic, I tend to like things that are meant for younger people. For example, I like Beauty and the Beast, Thomas and Friends, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and Hello Kitty. However, I have always been a fan of Roald Dahl’s works so this play might be suited for me. Plus my mother likes witches so this play may be suited for her as well.
What do you think I should do? Should I see this play or should I not waste my money on it and see something else like a movie that night? Please let me know what you think I should do. I hope that you can help me come up with a solution to the problem.

A play adapted from a book does not mean the play follows the book exactly. One of the main problems in adapting a book to a play rather than a movies is the stage is limited in what can be presented. Where as a movie can more follow the book because of the fewer limitations in presentation.
That being said nothing says the play is directed at a younger audience. Even so you like the works of the book author it might be interesting and entertaining to see how the director adapts the book to the stage.
My advice is go and enjoy the play.
