They didn’t really move and interact like the monkeys they were meant to be portraying. But at the same time I must, once again commend the actors The inflection and emotion in their voices drew you in and almost make you forget what you were looking at. Overall, the play was good. I was intrigued at the multiple skits, and I thought the selection of actors was amazing. What I liked was that I didn't feel as if I was sitting in my seat for three hours and didn’t get bored with the plot. While…

A lot of people had wanted to be entertained as the Library of Congress states, “Even during “hard times” and war time, people needed to be entertained. The Americans in the 1930s and 1940s were no exception. They enjoyed many forms of entertainment, particularly if they could do so inexpensively” ( “Art and Entertainment in the 1930s and 1940s” 1). The…

The actor established this character through the way he dressed and the style that he spoke. Mejia presented the audience a feeling of a gangster. Throughout the play, he was being the character, Sal, rather than himself. One of the skills that he had and other actors may not have was that he was able to speak and walk like a real gangster. The actor attempted to show the audience that people have to take the consequence of the…
