Subterranean Homesick Blues Again Play Analysis

Improved Essays
Play review of: SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES AGAIN The play Subterranean Homesick Blues Again by Dennis Reardron is about a group of tourist who take a tour in a cave. A misleading young 19 year old tour guide that leads them on an unexpected journey. Reardron reveals that trust is simply an idea that can lead to darkness and fear. The young tour guide obviously had no idea what he was doing, but he probably did this for a purpose.

What I really liked the most about the play was I thought Reardron did an amazing job with incorporating the suspense. For example at the end of the play Reardron leaves us in suspense when the tour guide says “The turbulence and confusion of your days beneath the sun are ended. You are the night. Fare thee well,

    Peter and the Starcatcher is an exhilarating and adventurous story that tells the tale of the well known free-spirited boy, Peter Pan’s backstory. Peter and the Starcatcher is based on the 2004 novel written by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, which was fashioned into a play by Rick Elice. I had an exceptional experience of seeing the play on March 29, at 9:30, adapted by director, Kerry Bishop on the A.B Lucas Secondary School stage. This play certainly catches the whimsical and wonderful essence of the boy who never grew up and how he came to be. Starring Aidan Peters as Peter, Makayla Ashenden as Molly Astor, Michael Jenkinson as Black Stache and the entire A.B Lucas cast put together a humorous and heartwarming performance, leaving me on…

    On the evening of Saturday October 8th, the cast of the play Fuddy Meers took the stage and put on a unique and exquisite performance. The play took place in the Temple Theatre which I found was a highly interesting venue. There were several different elements that I found greatly intriguing during the course of the ninety minute performance, however, there were a few elements that I felt were also lacking. The first element that I believed helped to add significance to the performance was the stage setup(1). The revolving setup of the stage was perfect for this play and it allowed much versatility for the characters during specific instances.…

    The play “Rumors”, by Neil Simon, is an interesting tale of lies, confusion, and, most importantly, rumors. The Wrangler Theater production of this play really brought out its best, and blew me away. Firstly, the main theme for this play would best be summarized by the Mark Twain quote, “If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.” The entire play is basically about miscommunication and lying in an effort to avoid scandal.…
