American film actors

the audience from becoming over-absorbed in the world of the play, allowing them to reflect and examine the issues presented. Poetry and song act as these interruptions in a great deal of Brecht’s work. According to Benjamin ‘like the pictures in a film, epic theatre moves in spurts. Its basic form is that of shock with which the single, well-defined situations of the play collide. The songs, the captions, the lifeless conventions set off one situation form another. This brings about intervals…

At the beginning of the play, Sheila Birling is shown to be very energetic and enthusiastic about life. The opening stage directions play an important role in presenting the character before she changes dramatically. She is described as "a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited." Priestley has decided to describe her as a ‘girl’ because it represents the immaturity of her character as seen through Act 1. Immaturity is a key theme at the start of the play;…

created confusion in the audience because some actors were not heard or the dialogue did not make sense. In addition, there was not a leading antagonist or conflict throughout the play. It was not made clear what the conflict was until towards the ending of the performance. However, I respect that the actors tried the best of their capacity to end the scene smoothly. In summary, the play was a tremendous example of the high level high school actors can reach. Each and every member of the cast…

The characters in the play Othello by Shakespeare depict different attributes from revenge to love. The behavior of Lago is the subject of analysis of the essay. Lago’s attitude towards women and Othello is appalling. He feels an obligation to serve Othello while also accusing him for having an affair with his wife. In Act one, scene three, Lago believes that Othello has slept with his wife. He states; “it is thought abroad that ‘twixt my sheets/ he has done my office” (1.iii.286). Lago is the…

Aristotle once said, “a tragedy is the moment where the hero comes face to face with his true identity”. In life, every individual is flawed; however one must be able to identify the difference between flaw, and tragic flaw. William Shakespeare is famously known for the concept of the tragic hero, and The Tragedy of Hamlet is no exception. A tragic hero can be defined as a noble character whose fatal flaw leads to their own destruction. In this tragedy of the Elizabethan era, one will come to…

The passage “Empire of illusion” by Chris Hedges claims that the most essential skill in political theater and a consumer is artifice. In every position you have to have a responsibility that is to be honest and go by what you think but in theater they want you to artifice narratives. The personal narrative can be fake but what is the meaning or truth behind it? I think they make artifice narratives for their own benefit which may or may not bring consequences further on in the future. This can…

Dramatism, a communication theory developed by Kenneth Burke and is used to analyze human interaction. A drama angle of communication equates life and interaction to a theater play or a dramatic movie. The theory strives to reason why people engage in acts and understand the motive behind the acts. Burke created the pentad to use the theory to analyze different acts in human life by applying the five elements. Pentad method is versatile because a specific act can be studied from various…

a classic doll would look. Kristine looked darker, more mysterious, and older than Nora. I enjoyed the sound that came from the pianist being a part of the story. She would play the piano at times in the play to aid in the audience feeling as the actors felt. During dramatic parts of the play, the piano music would often escalate into a frenzy and then completely stop leaving the audience in silence to mindfully digest the chaos that they just watched. The color and sound brought Dollhouse to a…

Drama is a type of medium or style in which emotions, conflicts or contrasts of character, tragedy are depicted. A story that surrounds all these is created (written) and then enacted on the stage. A person is said to be good at acting when he or she is able to bring out or depict the same emotional level at which the author has written it. The most successful dramas have a perfect blend of all these. Shakespearian plays are famous for its tragedy. Some of his plays include Hamlet, Othello, King…
