The House of Blue Leaves was a comedy that was based off of some historical events. The production was definitely meant to entertain the audience. The viewers could look at the expressions of the characters faces and tell that the play was a comedy. The script could have been written in a different manner though. The script might have been written to get a political agenda across to the audience. In 1965, the Pope Paul VI did visit America and it was a very big ordeal for all of America. Even…

In this reading I will be looking at the show “There shall be fireworks” written by Simon Day and Martin Bonger, produced by the Plasticine Men and performed by Martin Bonger. The specific performance to which I am referring was at the Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter on 29th September 2016. This performance is a one-man show where the actor, Martin Bonger is narrating a story to the audience. It is a dramatic production, there is a set, music, the performer has a costume and yet it also clearly…

Almost every notice you see strongly…
