16 Wounded Play Analysis

Improved Essays
I have recently had the pleasure to attend one of the best plays of my life. The Title of this play is 16 Wounded written by, Eliam Kraiem. I had the fortune that the producing entity was the Sopris Theatre Company at Colorado Mountain College, therefore It was right here at the Glenwood Springs College and I saw the show on Thursday night of the second week. I recognized some of the major participants in this production such as that it was directed by Wendy S. Moore, whom I thought did a splendid job with this play. I also knew some major actors such as Jess Monsalve, who played Mahmoud In the production. He was amazing, and I truly felt that he embodied his character so well. I also recognized Kelly Ketzenberger, who is the wife of my Development …show more content…
I think a reason I enjoyed it so much was just the theme surrounding the story. To me, the theme was to not despise or hate others solely based on their background. Mahmoud and …… Learned to live with each other and actually grew fond of each other, even though neither party would agree. They surpass their differences and were able to become close. I generally just really enjoyed this play. From the lighting to the set to the sound. Everything was superb. Lighting was dead on, the sound booth did a great job with the noises they chose, and I thought it was brilliant to have fresh bread on the stage since they were trying to imitate a bakery. Compared to the Seafarer, I thought this play outweighed the other one in terms of impact. The fact that it didn’t end in a happy ending, I think just made it that much more powerful. People typically like to go see comedies in plays but I believe that tragedy is just as important. This story spoke out to many, as I even saw ladies coming out crying and hugging the cast, so I believe people should try to make an attempt to come see the show and if it’s too late then I'm sorry that they missed it because the missed out on an amazing

    Overall, this show was fantastic. It had the element of audience interaction that not many plays really have and if they do, no theatre has it down like Pocket Sandwich. Before the show they have someone that greets you with a medium sized boat of popcorn that any newcomer would think to eat. They have more intentions for the popcorn than you’d generally expect, they actually want you to save it all and throw it at the cast members! Before the play began there was an actress that announced how we should properly throw popcorn at the cast members and what the general rules of thumb were for certain situations.…

    I thought the play was well written well played and the actors really did an awesome job of grabbing my attention. The actors acting from the emotionally standpoint was very well played with the crying and you could even feel it during their soliloquy songs as if what was displayed in the musical actually happened to them which was very good. Also, the singing was very good, the actors’ vocals had good harmony pitch and volume making it tolerable. The audience laughed at the jokes and for some reason they clapped at the end of each scene but my knowledge of live plays are limited as it was my first one. Most of the audience stayed after the show to meet the actors and tell them what a good job they did.…

    On April 22, I, along with the cast of CSI’s production of Romeo and Juliet, made our way to Twin Falls High School’s Roper Auditorium to see the very anticipated Thoroughly Modern Millie performed by the Bruin High Players (BHP), written by Richard Morris and Dick Scanlan, directed by James Haycock. I was ecstatic to see how the show had turned out, having worked with the cast before. I couldn't wait to see if the tap lessons that the cast had started taking months before the production had worked out! The production turned out to fulfill my expectations- which were very high expectations- and absolutely dazzle myself and the audience. The play takes place in good ol’ New York, New York where dreams are made true- at least that's what Millie…

    Our Town: Is the “Great American Play” Deserving of its Title? The “Great American Play,” Our Town by Thornton Wilder, is packed full of references and symbols that relate to the idea of the “American dream.” The ideas represented in Our Town expose both the negative and positive sides of the American dream. Wilder idealizes small town life by writing about the gimmick of “Small Town, USA.” Wilder also uses symbolism to write in between the lines of the play.…

    Which was important in many minds as friends, and others were there, because it showed that nothing worth wanting comes easy. As far as reoccurring the director did an outstanding job, because towards the end of the play, many felt moved or more motivated than before they had watched the play. Even though some obstacles may be different for others and not as easily relatable, the director showed that hard work, in life weather it is through acting or in general may will overcome their problems and persevere. Which was amazing that the director was able to fit all of those reoccurring themes into this dramatic, yet playful…

    While it did have its awkward moments in the beginning with Bloom’s shyness and the older women (I’m a little scarred from some scenes), I loved it. It is a type of play that I would easily be able to watch again with the same, if not more enjoyment than I had when I first experienced it. I had little knowledge of the play going into the theater, which I believe made me enjoy it even more. I would highly recommend it to my friends interested in theater. Even if one is not interested in plays or theater, I think they would still love the play.…

    Response When we analyze Samuel Beckett’s work, Endgame, we are able to observe different interpretations. At first glance, the viewer might assume that the purpose of the work was to show a typical family scene, represented by elderly parents, their son already advanced in age and his servant dissatisfied with his labor, but always helpful. If it is analyzed in greater depth, we can find other interpretations such as, seeing the work, from a psychoanalytic point of view, consider it as the mind of an elderly man in the last days of his life or, finally, think through it as the last moment within a game of chess. To begin with, the first interpretation analyses the play from a psychoanalytic point of view. Such an interpretation sees the…
