Refund Review Draft

The one act play 'Refund' by Hungarian  writer Fritz Karinthy is very comedic and enjoyable. When I came across this play, I had low expectations because it was a very old story. That all changed within reading a few lines of the script. Before I knew it, I was laughing and enjoying the script. If you ever wan to have a good laugh, read "Refund".

"Refund" is about an ex-student coming back to his old school and demanding his tuition fees paid back because he apparently learned nothing there. The Principal is outraged at his remark. He knows the ex-student is only doing this because he can get money. Both the Principal and ex-student decide to hold an exam to see if he really did learn nothing. The Principal decides to gather the Professors of his school : The Professors of History, Math, Geography,and Physics. The Principal tells them that the ex-student will purposely fail, so they will have to purposely make him have the correct answer even if he is clearly saying the wrong answers. The Professors ask the ex-student questions. One by one they ask him a question and he says the wrong answer but they wisely prove his answers are correct. In the end the ex-student does not get his refund.

"Refund" has a very good story, and though you just read my summary of it, that is a very broad idea of how much fun reading "Refund" can be. There are very comedic dialogues sure to make you laugh. "Refund" has a very creative and comical story line that will make you wanting for more. Refund is very interesting so why not read it today. I give it an 8 out of 10.
