Growing Up - A Review of Mr. Ben's The Young People's Plays by Alex Andy Phuong

Some would consider life as the ultimate narrative.  The changes that people undergo between birth until death continue to captivate audiences even in the current era that defines modernity.  Nevertheless, people exhibit immaturity when they are young, and only a select few transition from being childish to being mature.  That is one of the seminal ideas that Mr. Ben explores in The Young People's Plays.

Written as a collection of stage plays, this work from Mr. Ben is essential for anyone wanting to know what it is like to transition between childhood and adulthood.  Each story is unique, and explores different facets while ultimately defining what it means to be human.  It is true that people inevitably make mistakes, but choosing to learn from mistakes is completely optional.  That fundamental fact is one of the core elements that make this collection from Mr. Ben riveting and inspirational.

Young people might like playing games during their youth, and The Young People's Plays works well as a collection of stage dramas because of the famed Shakespearean notion that the world is the ultimate stage!
