Mother F Ker With The Hat Analysis

Improved Essays
Many people go through emotional rollercoasters in their lives by people who are closest to them. Going through so many emotions can be exhausting, and in this play, it deals with a variety of emotions. The Mother F**ker with the Hat is a play that deals with both drama and comedy written by Stephen Adly Guirgis, which I attended in October 13, 2016 and held in the Obsidian Theater. This play involves a couple deals with addiction and infidelity, whereas they get help from the people closest to them. Some people can relate to the play because of the problems the characters face. The Mother F**ker with the Hat intentions were a success with the exceptional acting, lighting, scenery design, and costumes, in which it helps convey deception.
The acting of the play was a success because it helped emphasize on deception for the role

Duran was also in character which helped kept the flow of the play, and had a New York accent, along with Luis Galindo’s character, which gave away the setting the play. Being from New York myself, it was easy to detect their accents and felt a bit in touch from home, giving me a bit of an emotional recall. Since Duran’s character caused Galindo’s character to go through an emotional rollercoaster, Duran showed a bit of guilt by her facial expression and body language. For example, she crossed her arms and walking in a fast pace after doing something bad, which went along with the scene. Lastly, Atseko Factor who played Ralph D., showed a goofy side, which brought comedy to the play, yet played a betrayer. Factor made the audience laugh frequently, but when it came to being serious, it was a bit dull. He didn’t expressed as much emotions from his face, but he did expressed a bit within his voice. The actors did meet the potential of deception within their character, yet threw in some funny puns that made the audience

    This era was of comedy and romance so it was a great way to read a Shakespearean play that is so relevant today. Rumors are spread like wildfire and they are mostly consisted of lies that hurt other people. It is meant for comedy and one’s own pleasure but in some circumstances it can be used to bring people together such as it did for Beatrice and Benedict. But when regarding Hero and Claudio it was a disaster, the rumor was intended to hurt Hero and for Claudio to slander due to the mischievous Don John and his jealousy towards his brother and fellow friends. William Shakespeare took the time to write down this comedic play to not only enforce comedic relief but to also show the people of the time how much rumors can destroy or build.…

    The genre of the both plays were comedy as they both treated their respected subject matter with humor. The first play ‘The Pretentious Young Ladies’ dealt with the theme of pretentious nature of people, while the second play, ‘The Miser’, dealt with the theme of greediness that plagues many human minds. Considering the sound of laughter abundant among the audience on that day, I consider both plays successful in gaining the response they both aspired to. In the first play, ‘The Pretentious Young Ladies’, a stunning performance by P.M. Williams in the role of ‘La Grange’ overshadowed quite wonderful acts of others. The character’s charming behavior had me believe in his quest to romanticize with one of the pretentious young ladies in the play.…

    There were several stand out actions such as his nuances for mischief that I enjoyed as well as the way he delivered some lines by actions that were specific to his characters- jumping and clapping his hands when he fooled someone- however, some of his other actions fell short. His performance was done well, but his energy was pushed to the background when he stood alongside Lala's dominant vitality whom he shared many scenes…

    Besides the two scenes with the Watch and a few minor moments, I enjoyed the play. I felt the cast took Much Ado, which is a witty, tragic, powerful play with a message about reputations and “noting” others, and created a funny yet heart wrenching adaptation through the…

    They were contrasted well enough to keep the show more entertaining. The situations that both Ever and Senga have encountered were believable to a certain extent such as when Ever was freaking out when being touched and Senga had to dance while being injured. Other than that, both of their problems were solved. The characters lead me to new understanding because there are more qualities in the characters themselves and not just their personalities. Both Senga and Ever were funny because they talked about each other in a way that does not discriminate each other.…

    It would be extremely challenging for an audience to watch a play without the use of light. Light not only brings a play to “light” but it also allows the audience to experience the change in feelings and emotions along with the characters. When I say that light changes the audience emotions, I mean that if there’s a black-out like the one that was in Driving Miss Daisy, then the audience becomes a little frightened. Set design is also very important because it is what creates the scene of a play which allows for the audience to identify the location. Set design and light design are only two of the features that made this play great.…

    This demonstrates a level of disorganization that is made funny because of the interactions it leads to with the director of the play Fellowes. The constant trouble that Tim has backstage putting the curtain down also demonstrates disorganization, but it adds comedy to the film. The message that can be taken away from the film overall is that disorganization can lead to success. The reason for this is because even though the play is disorganized they still have a successful Broadway…

    Beatrice’s use of certain subversive subjects can sometimes be misconceived as a form of cruelty by some, as she constantly references the cuckold by talking about horns, which at the time was a serious danger to male honour and inheritance, but it’s really just playful banter. Beatrice crafts her language with extreme levels of skill and finesse, she twists the words of men to use to her own advantage; this in turn makes her seem like a very intelligent individual, a trait that wasn’t considered feminine at the time. This in itself is a mode of subversive comedy, making the men seem as if they have to keep their wits about them in the presence of such a witty siren. This wit would invoke an admiring laughter for the audience as she would not only be looked at by women as an idol but by men as a respectable intelligent individual. There is one moment where Beatrice could have been considered cruel as her comments had potential for tragedy, this is where the bounds of comedy where perhaps overstepped as she was empowered by the fact that all the male characters are in disguised apparel, giving her the chance to cause chaos between the noble male soldiers relaxing after the…
