I would also like to have three nooses installed at the top of the theatre space that can descend from the top in the final act of the play impending Proctor’s demise. Like the noose, the direction of the play should eventually begin to creep down into the consciousness of the audience members as the play commences forwards…

Roy Cohn and Joe Pitt demonstrate an intriguing relationship throughout the entirety of Tony Kushner’s play Angels in America: Millennium Approaches. This relationship reaches a climax in Act 3 Scene 5 showcasing an eruption of emotion that fills the entire stage. Both the script reading and performance provided me something to analyze. However, whereas the script lets the reader envision how the setting should be shown, the live broadcast showcases the emotions in a way that words alone could…

A couple of weeks ago, I went to go see The Skin of Our Teeth. The show is very confusing and I was not a huge fan of it. However, the way the set is laid out and the choices for costumes and some aspects of the acting were quite enjoyable. The script was my main issue that clouded over many of the other parts. To understand the show, we must first see what it is about. The Skin of Our Teeth by Thornton Wilder is a play that takes part in three acts. It follows the Antrobus family and their maid…

Gossip Girl (CW, 2007-2012) is a drama television series about a group of fictional wealthy teenagers living on the Upper East Side in New York City. It is based off of a book series by Cecily Von Ziegesar. Though the characters all attend the same prep school, the show mostly focuses on what they do in their non-academic lives. The drama portrayed in this series is more extreme than other comparable teen drama shows, such as The O.C or 90210. This is due to the controversial topics that are…

Acting on stage requires high level of concentration in every acting lesson to be an efficient stage actor. Theatre acting and screen acting are both form of arts; however, they differ in terms of acting difficulties and techniques used by actors. Many actors either on stage or on screen have their own difficulties in acting; they commonly found the body…

The magic of theatre has fascinated children and adults since the 1600's. Behind some of the magic of the theatre is just a couple of guys pulling ropes. These people are called Riggers, because they rig cable and ropes to pulleys to make backdrops, people, or set pieces fly. When flying pieces or people, theatres will use a multitude of different things to fly. Unfortunately, stages are also built in a multitude of ways for the purpose of different experiences. For many theatres, stages have…

Amanda Parks ENGL 102 Professor Kambic 2 November 2017 Hamlet-BBC Production 1. They looked at dozen different kinds of spaces around London. They wanted to find an environment which wouldn’t call attention to itself which wouldn’t seem like that we were all on location that would provide for the play what we described as vivid neutrality. We looked at a number of disused factories, we looked at a couple of big sellers, we looked at an old school, and wed then went to this place in Mill Hill…

Many plays have content that is arguably political and often plays that seem the farthest from politics have elements that some viewers see as a statement of political opinion. Political plays often do not deal directly with political officials but with current events and political standpoints regarding those issues. Both Rent and The Accidental Death of an Anarchist deal with issues current at the time of their creation and though focused on different issues they use very similar tactics like…

analysis of the statement, dissecting Hume’s view of what the “self” entailed, and how the mind works in helping deceive us into thinking that there is a “self”. After which, I hope to provide a greater insight of the theatrical metaphor used, as theatre is often cited to be “an essential and central metaphor for life” (Wilshire 1985). Analysis of passage Hume asserts that “we are nothing but a bundle… of different perceptions”. This is essential in understanding his stance that we are merely a…

Alain de Botton argues that comedians not only have a job to entertain, but also a job to address controversial topics that others might be afraid to address. Humorists are vital people in today’s society; satire not only makes a subject have humor, it creates a sense of feeling of relief that those subjects can be acceptable to talk about and at the same time raises awareness for that particular subject. Humorists do this through various comedy sketches, political cartoons, and stand-up shows.…
