The Girls In The Forest Movie Vs Play

Improved Essays
I feel like the movie was very similar to the play. Although, there were many differences that I think were sprinkled in, to make it more visually appealing to the audience. For example, the biggest difference between the play and the movie was that the movie started out with all of the girls in the forest, doing witchcraft. I feel that this was a smart idea because it is easier to follow along and understand the big deal of what really happened in the forest, especially when there isn’t a narrator like there is in the play. On the other hand, the play references back to the time that they were in the forests. The play starts out with Betty being sick right away and being examined by a doctor. “Parris (eagerly). What does the doctor say, child?

    Even though many occurrences in the play are different from the movie, there are also many similarities. The actors in the play pose the same characteristics as in the movie version. They show the same sense of value and excitement for the check to come in. They also show the same sense of loss and hurt when the neighbor tells the family that…

    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 went over the idea that fate rules but not as clear as the book did. It stated stuff about fate but the book did a way better job explaining it. The book made more sense than the play did. Both had the same theme but the book was way more clear at explaining…

    That impacted the movie because it showed how John really reacted to what Abigail did. A second difference was in the play it had only talked about the girls dancing in the woods when they were in Betty’s room. In the movie it showed them there in the woods dancing. Another difference in the play was that Tituba was…

    For the scenery, I liked the stage. Since it was circular and moved, it created the ability to have multiple scenes in various locations. I enjoyed the beginning when she was running away, and the level with the trees turned to make it more realistic that she was running through the woods. I did not like the red that was at the bottom of the trees and poking out of the floorboards of the stage. Since it was never mentioned in the play, the red is confusing as real trees do not have red stained trunks.…

    The film also changes the dialogue slightly and changes the framework. Although the two productions were very similar, I seemed to like the play version better because of the amusing way it was performed and it seemed to follow the script more than the movie. Films only have a limited amount of time to pack everything in,…

    One of these differences is that in the movie, the man who helps them get food is Mr. Koogler, while in the play, his name is Mr. Kraler. In the play, his character name is Mr. Kraler, but in the movie he is called Mr. Koogler. Another difference is when Anne receives her diary. In the movie, she receives it as a present for her 13th birthday, while in the play, she gets it after they’ve moved into the annex. The last difference is that in the movie, Mr. Koogler stays healthy throughout the story, but in the play, Mr. Kraler goes to the hospital.…

    Last Thursday night, I attended Indiana Wesleyan University’s production of The Pirates of Penzance. This is a romantic comedy that is performed as an opera. This show was first created during the Victorian Age and intends to bring you back to this time period. The show was written by Sir WS Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan in the year of 1879. The Pirates of Penzance was first produced in the Fifth Avenue Theater in New York City on December 31, 1879.…

    33 Variations: Critique With the commencement of the play I was indeed confused to say the least. Without prior knowledge about “33 Variations" I walked in with a clean slate unsure about any general idea or theme this play had to offer. My confusion was due to the century gap in clothing. Although it became apparent rather quickly that the modern day clothing represented the present of Dr.Katherine and her daughter Clara, and the romantic style clothing represented flashbacks to Beethoven. This initial misconception was due to ignorance on my behalf, However once I was past this I was able to appreciate the accuracy of the costumes in the portrayal of this back and for the between past and present.…

    for example, in the movie, Marley flies out a window after talking to Scrooge, while in the play, he leaves through the door. Another example is when Scrooge buys the giant turkey in the play, he gives the butcher more than he was supposed to. In the movie, he does not give the butcher more than needed and gives him exactly enough money. These are only a few of the differences throughout the movie and the play. There are also many similarities between the movie and the play.…

    Dracula Play Review

    I also didn’t much like the backdrop, they used a screen, it had clouds and the moon on it, and I think that looked good, but occasionally red eyes, or a wolf would pop up, and I thought it looked cheesy. The costumes weren’t extraordinary, but they were pretty cool, I liked that the director decided to keep it classic, and in the scenes when the actors had to bleed, the blood stains on the shirts looked cool and realistic, the only thing that really bothered me, were how similar all of the men’s suits were (not Dracula or Renfield). The lights were incredible, and probably my favorite technical part of the play. It was pretty dark throughout the play, with the lights mostly on the actors. They also cast a lot of shadows, for example, in Lucy’s room, and in Renfields asylum, there were shadows of cell…

    It was one of the biggest sets I have ever seen or ever been a part of making. I believe the set pieces of this play were very realistic. The tree truly had the characteristic of a weeping willow, Rapunzel’s tower brought to life the idea of the fairy tales. The set piece of each house really made the audience believe these houses were really places. The hill was a great way to bring the idea of hills and valleys in the wood.…
