Comparing Judith And Carlos's Life Line

Improved Essays
There were tree plays that took place that night. The one that caught my attention was Life Line. There will be an analysis of the characters and how the stage was set up and how that helped delivered the message of the play. There were two main characters, Judith and Carlos. There were other characters that the audience were not able to see them, only heard their voices, two males and a young girl voice. Some of the themes were relationships, death, sickness, and loneliness. These themes were potried from the characters. And the stage set up helped the played deliver its message.
Both characters seem to have conflict with themselves. Even if they did not want to addimite it to themselves. At the beginning had conflict with one another. The was one called brought them together it was a suicide call, were apparently a dad was killing the family and the daughter was

At the beginning the characters entered trought the back of the stage. There was a time in they paly were both of the characters went out of the office and they used the frame that was set up on the stage to simulatie as if there was a door and they were going out. In another part of the play the lights went out Carlos went to the back of the stage to figure out how to turn on the lights with the switches that was in the back.
The play comes in a full circle. The message was clear, everyone needs a life line. Not just because Judith was there to help others did not mean she did not need help. And not just because Carlos was there to do his time did not mean he was did not need help as well. The circumstances that they went through together with the call brought them toughter and to open up. Two strangers listened to each other and it seem to make it a little easier to keep going in life. There were each others life

    Refried Elvis is a swiftly paced parody that packs a Presley punch. With familiar tunes and modern jokes, it’s fun for the whole family. From beginning to end it’s as smart as it is funny, and guaranteed to entertain. I found the acting to be nearly impeccable, as all on stage seemed entirely committed to their characters, actions, and intent. No matter how serious or silly the scene, I found the believability to be there.…

    On Thursday November 19th, I went to the King’s College theatre production “The Illusion” by Tony Kushner. During the week of the play, I did not know what to expect, because this was actually the first play I have ever been too before. Also, I never heard of the Illusion by Tony Kushner before, and I had absolutely no idea what the play I was about to see was actually about. When I was thinking about going to the play, I was actually very excited about seeing a live performance for the first time. On the other hand, I had the thought in the back of my head that I was not going to have any clue what was going on during the play at all, because of not knowing of the Illusion by Tony Kushner.…

    The students that performed Margaret Edson’s play, Wit, put on a fantastic show. The student who played the lead roll did an excellent job portraying a sickly cancer patient in the beginning and throughout parts of the play. While I sat with the audience waiting for the play to begin, I thought to myself that I really did not know what to expect out of this play. I noticed the sickly patient in the middle of the stage with dim lights, and I thought about how that could be the main character, Dr. Vivian Bearing, discussed earlier in class.…

    Intricate details on the scenery made the buildings feel authentic and inviting, grabbing my attention from the moment I walked in the theatre. The costuming was also fantastic, portraying the time period well and adding even more authenticity to the production. All of these individual aspects of a play production acted as an important role, but none of them caught my attention as much as the storyline. I was entwined in the story from the moment the stage lights came on, engulfing myself in the man-made atmosphere presented in front of me. The story went on to tell a tale of a greedy…

    It shows that Walter Lee has not lived his life the way he would want or intended it to be like. Inner conflicts are more vivid in a play based upon the dialogue between individuals and stage directions. Another instance is during the moving process it mentions that mama “ shakes her head at the dissolved dream.” From this being told in an aspect of a play there is insight given from every character. It is not focused on one specific character, but instead everyone has a part in the building of the story line.…
