  1. Love on the B-Line ten-minute play is about a story of the relationship of two characters as they do their best to break down the barriers in their relationship. Robbie does not want Marie to go home because he wants her to sleep over but she refuses like five times in total. He wishes to be able to fall asleep with her beside him to the feeling that the two of them are the only people in the world. He gives her an ultimatum and confesses that he loved her, but would no longer be part of a train that only goes one way, her way, he could not ride it any longer. Marie seems to be scared of sleeping over because she is afraid to fall too deep in love, in the end Marie speaks from the heart and tells him she does not want to caged, again and starts breaking down her barriers but refuses to give any hope of taking their relationship further. I think it is sad that Robbie decides to stick around for Marie because she clearly is not interested in anything serious and is not ready to fall in love. I think the role reversal of the play is genius because if it were the guy asking the same from the girl people would be like player! -Maria Ramirez Montoya

  2. This play is a drama acted out many times everywhere and every day. It is a struggle in a relationship when one partner wants more of a commitment from the other not realizing that by doing so the relationship takes on a different form. I believe that Robbie and Marie love each other, but due to a prior bad relationship that put Marie in a terrible state of depression she is unwilling to give up the freedom she has left. She might even be co-dependent struggling to not get in a similar relationship. The B Line is the distance she needs to feel comfortable and free. I sense that as long as she is able to have that she will be satisfied, and at the end Robbie begins to understand that by giving her more time to heal it will lead to her giving him what he needs. It just might be me, but I feel that women are the ones that want that commitment more then a man. Then again I might be old fashioned. Why does it have to be that a commitment to one person is equal to giving away part of your freedom, and if it is why is it frowned upon? When i read this play it almost made me feel like I was watching West Side Story. The problem isn't her cat or her father. Those are just excuses. The real problem is progressing forward and not regressing and regretting.

  3. The thing that I really enjoyed about this week’s reading was how the author sprinkles in recurring themes in between the dialogue. This weeks play was about a couple that were at each other's throat the whole time. The guy was being super toxic and clingy, she’s only been with him for something like 5 months and he's acting like she's his daughter. I also enjoy how this play inserts beats, it’s something that actors deal with all the time and I always took it as a mood shift or like a moment of realization. The language is believable and they even keep mentioning the train, there was a time where Robbie starts panicking for some reason but it never felt over the top or out of character it's just some guy who is grown who can’t keep his emotions in check. And in some odd way that’s a super believable thing, men have this notion that women are very moody and have terrible mood swings but it’s usually the other way around. Guy’s are the most fragile human beings on the planet. So there were times when I laughed at how the writer was quippy and had Marie call Ronnie out on being a huge wimp. -Jesús Iván González

  4. This weeks play, Love on the B- Line by Adam Kraar, was so in-tune the modern relationship. There's always two people that develop feelings for each other and they unofficially commit to each other by continuing to see that one person but only that one person. There's no label and no "what are we? discussion. Eventually, someone seems to start falling a little harder but the other person is still "not ready" for that kind of commitment but doesn't want to lose what they have. I really felt bad for Robbie in the beginning because all he wanted to do was sleep next to the girl he loves and just dive into getting to know her mind a little more. I don't think he was trying to break up with her because he wasn't getting his way but more so because he felt like he was the only one that felt as strongly as she did and Marie wasn't giving any indication that she was on the same path. When Marie starts to open up about how she doesn't want to be caged in, Robbie starts to understand her reasoning. I don't totally agree with Marie but I'm not saying she's wrong either. I just think if you're not ready for commitment, don't put yourself out there like you are.

  6. Love in the B-Line was so good to read, this play was about a relationship between Robbie and Marie. What I found so cute was how Robbie wanted to know more about Marie because he really did like her or was falling in love with her. I’m a sucker for romance so this play was super interesting to read because I wanted to know wanted happened next. Of course, it broke my heart knowing that Marie did not feel the same way because he was falling for her. I do think she was being a bit childish on her behalf because if she didn’t want anything to do with Robbie then why get his hopes up. He was trying his best to treat her right even at the part where he wanted her to sleep in bed with her not sexually or anything, but it was sweet for him to ask because he only wanted to get to know her better. This play was cute in my perspective because it was about a relationship that one was more in love than the other and was trying to get the other person feel the same way. I also think that many young readers will like reading this play because it is a modernized relationship and people can relate to this now a days. This play was very intriguing and well written kudos to the author!

  7. Love on the B line was a nice read. The play is about a young couple with the man not understanding why they can’t spend the night together after dating for five months. We see how much they care for each other as they are still trying to work out their relationship. Robbie seeks to find a reason in why Marie has to go back home when she could spend the night with him. He loves her dearly and can’t let go of her. Later in the play we know Marie just isn’t ready to move on in the relationship like that. Like spending long nights together and getting to know each other in an intimate way. All Robbie wanted was an explanation, and for Marie to understand that he only seeks to rest his mind is delightful. She broke up with her ex-boyfriend half a year before she dated Robbie and Robbie understands that sometimes we just need some time before we jump into another relationship. Time to find ourselves again and find the confidence to love others as if there was no one before them. The play had a nice balance to it. We get a lot of information just with the words each say. There was never a doubt of the courtship these two love birds expressed.

  8. The play “Love on the B-Line” by Adam Kraar involved a very realistic conflict between the two characters that revolve in this play. The two characters are Marie and Robbie, they are a couple and they are both 28 years old. They are in a subway station in Brooklyn and they are about to head home when Robbie asks Marie to spend the night with him, but she is unable to go and sets the excuse that she needs to stay with her cat to feed it. But Robbie does not believe her, he knows something else is going on and he keeps pushing her to tell him what the truth is and she finally reveals the real reason. And she explains that she went to a very dark place when she fell in love with the wrong person and this person disappointed her. Meaning that she was really hurt from her last relationship and she was scared of getting hurt again, she was not really sure she wanted to commit herself the same way with Robbie. I think this play shows a case scenario that is very common in relationships because people are always scared to commitment, or some are not scared but just unsure to commit because they want the other person to be as committed as they are. People just want to be sure the commitment is mutual and the love is reciprocal.

  9. The action implemented in this play really flows with what the characters are trying to portrays. This gives the playwright more emphasis on how it’s supposed to be read and presented to the audience. It shows the emotion and the romance in the little bits of action as they are interacting and while they are not interacting. The playwright gives the romance between them even more to show that there are true feelings between them and how that is one of the main emotions in this play. Their love for one another is magnified by those emotions to show that even if they are that much in love between them that that is going to be the conflict to come in the play. And that is exactly what it shows when they start questioning their love for one another when one believes that the bond between them isn’t strong enough to take the next step in the relationship. That leads to the title of the play. The title of the play really plays a big role to distinguish the differences between what it means and what is actually happening. B- line can stand for many things it can be the line of the train they are waiting for but also it can be interpreted as going into the relationship straight away. Not waiting or stopping for anything else of getting in their way of the goal that it is to stay at one’s home overnight. This contrasts the play from the characters and the title. The audience expecting something because of the title and they get a different type of other romance.
