Play Critique
Bad Seed
The Bad Seed was performed at Crowder College Theatre on October, 20th at 7:30 p.m...The play starts out in the Col. and Mrs. Penmark’s apartment in the suburb of a Southern City. In the first scene of the play the characters that first appear are Rhoda, Christine, Kenneth, Monica, Emory, and Miss Fern. At the beginning of this play the father (Kenneth) is getting ready to leave and the mother (Christine) and the daughter (Rhoda) are saying their goodbyes, when the landlady and her brother come to the door. I went to this play not knowing at all what it was about, I assumed it was about a little girl because of the flyers that I have seen all over campus, but I had no idea that she would turn out to be a murderer.

Some of the characters forgot their lines but quickly recovered and were able to fix their mess up very smoothly. One thing that I noticed was that when Tasker forgot his lines he would start to mumble and then I couldn’t understand what he was saying. Although that is not what acting is all about I think that his part was believable. I think that his gestures and mannerisms fit his character very well. I also think that his voice patterns fit his character very well. I think that the three best actor’s in this play were Rhoda(Juliet McGowan) , Christine(Kristen Stremel) and Leroy(Justin Bowman), the reason I say this is because it was very hard to pick out any parts that they messed up on, if they did at all. I think that they were trying to tell you that even the sweetest and most innocent people can be something that you would never expect them to …show more content…
I also noticed that whenever the mother (Christine) would read to Rhoda at night she would just put a robe over her cloths and you could tell that she still had them on and she also kept her shoes on.
I think that the music played when they were switching to a new scene and when it was intermission really fit the play because it sounded mysterious. I think that the lighting was good; I especially liked it when they put a spot light on Rhoda at the end and she smiled that mischievous and evil smile.
The scenery was setup very well; the apartment was set up nicely. I think that everything looked like it was in the era that it was supposed to be in. The scenery was good for every scene because that is where the play takes place. The scenery looked a little old timie so it fit very well into the play.
I think that almost all of the production elements were good and had an overall effectiveness; it is understandable that you could not have everything just perfect because that would cost a lot of money. One thing that I noticed about the play was that it was a little drawn out; because of those points in the play I would start to lose interest in watching the
