Vincent Giannone Blog Post 3: Scuba Lessons and Sure Thing


3. In Scuba Lessons, there was evidence that Kelly and Dan had previously dated. What evidence from the play makes you think that they will or will not make it in this budding relationship.


During the play Scuba Lessons, there was a great deal of evidence that Kelly and Dan had previously dated. Kelly, the main character of the play, is a bit of an annoyance with her controlling tendencies. She over analyzes everything, nothing ever goes through one ear and out the other. The story essentially revolves around her searching for her soul mate. While Dan, which so happens to be her best friend and coworker, is a loving guy who knows how to make her happy. As the play progresses, tension builds between the two characters. The play originally sets off with Kelly and Dan on two separate blind dates. But, they set it up so that their dates are at the exact same coffee-house. As the play unfolds Kelly realizes that her plans have diminished. Kelly realizes that she secretly loves Dan. One of the more obvious clues occurs during the end of the play. As the dates of Kelly and Dan begin too realize that they have been part of one big rouse, Kelly and Dan begin to fight. Dan expresses his not so convincing plea that he did not want to join her with a blind date at the coffee shop. After a brief rage, Dan asks “Then why did you set it up?!” And Kelly responds with “I don’t know. Maybe to see if you’d stop me, you stupid Guinea.” This statement is essentially the icing on the cake. This proves that there has always been some form of emotional attachment that Kelly has had for Dan. This logically infers that they have dated one point, that the man that she dreams of in the beginning was Dan all along.

  2. Your post broke down the play very well. However, I feel as though you did not answer the question being asked. I would suggest giving your view on whether or not their relationship will continue. Very good post!
