Romeo and Juliet, Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia! No matter what play it is I always find myself overly excited thinking about them. The lasting effect of a play is derived from its flashiness in visuals and content. Sure, a good play should be pleasant to look at, but this is a shallow visual. A good play should show your eyes something deeper through its characters because they are the leaders of the situation and are the ones who take the audience through the plot. Strong characters make mediocre plots entertaining, dingy sets artistically stated and two hours go by fast. Characters are the decorative icing on the cake; they are able to hide whatever is buried within.
Also, a play should have at least one memorable factor so that the audience can leave the theatre and always remember those few details that made the whole play unique.
Overall, what makes a play good, and what people expect to see is the concept of interest. There isn't a soul in the world who wants to sit in a theatre for two hours watching dull and monotonic characters engaging themselves in a series of uninteresting encounters and dilemmas. Entertainment is the key.
