glee


Glee is a musical comedy-drama television series that airs on Fox in the United States. It focuses on the high school glee club New Directions competing on the show choir competition circuit, while its members deal with relationships, sexuality and social issues.
The groups relationships and the event of a cheerleader getting pregnant are the main focus of the first series.
Glee looks at the humorous side but also shows serious issues. the teen pregnanvy sees the mother deciding whether she will keep the baby, or if she will give it up for adoption. she eventually decides to give the baby to a mother who cannot have children.

Critical Reception

A review by Gibbs mentioned: "It insults kids to suggest that simply watching Characters Behaving Badly onscreen means they'll take that as permission to do the same themselves. And it's set in high school, meaning it's about a journey not just to college and career but to identity and conviction, the price of popularity, the compromises we must make between what we want and what we need."
As Glee's initial success pulled in a large audience, John Doyle of the Globe & Mail wrote that the early shows "felt fresh, mainly because the motley crew of kids had a kind of square naïveté.

Links to my play

  • Glee links to my play as it shows the stigma and problems that followhen you get pregnant when you are still at school.
  • it shows the emotions and decisions of a teenage mohter and the issue of whether to keep the baby.
  • It also shows the relationship with the father of the child.
