West End theatre

Childshood End, by Arthur C. Clarke is a story about an alien invasion on earth by the strange Overlords. Upon their arrival there were many different human reactions by the characters. In these portrayals by Arthur C. Clarke there is the reaction of defeat, skepticism, and distrust. All of which is to be expected when it is discovered that, “The human race was no longer alone.”(Clarke 5) Thought his depiction of this alien invasion is would seem as if this story was taken out of our future…

PE Coursework Strengths The sport I have chosen is football. One of my main strengths (components of fitness) in football is my speed. The definition of speed is the ability to move quickly across the ground or moving limbs rapidly to grab or throw. In football, you use your speed for e.g; When you’re attacking and you are dribbling past a defender, you can use bursts of speed to blow past him. This means I get closer to the goal and have a better chance of scoring for me and my team. Also,…

It was a nice sunny afternoon. We had gotten the news that the weather wasn’t going to be good. Our bus ride was more calm than usual as I didn’t hear much talking. I guess we were a little excited we were going to play on turf. I personally didn’t really care about the turf but I was concerned, about the fact, we were going to play older players. Coach gave us a heads up to play our hardest. Only five minutes into the ride and I was getting the nerves I always got. It felt like someone was…

callers decided to have Hogan offer a fake handoff to McCaffrey. As McCaffrey cut to the right corner of the end zone, all but one of Iowa’s defensive players committed to stopping him without hesitation. As Hogan peeled out from the fake handoff towards the left corner of the end zone he was left in a one on one open field situation with Iowa’s safety. Seemingly with ease, Hogan ran into the end zone. In addition to it being a brilliant tactical move, Stanford executed the play flawlessly—it…

Sexism and misogyny in Theater There are plenty of women who produce, direct, design sets and act in theatrical productions, however they did not always have these opportunities. “Women’s parts were played by men until the late 1700’s. When women did get the chance to perform in the United States, actresses were often seen as fallen or disgraced women because respectable women were not supposed to engage in public activity” (Matthews, 315). Examples of sexism in theatric productions include,…

The sum of an evolving variety of music genres within the form, an increased interest and engagement by A and B list celebrities, an increasingly globalized Western culture, among other influences have allowed for the growth and current peak prosperity of the musical theatre genre across…

The standout performers in the play were Alejandro, played by Jonathan Hernandez, and La Muerte, played by Sofia May-Cuxim. La Muerte Baila is much different from most…

advantage of Hester and did little to help her raise Hester’s children. These situations were displayed throughout the play and the central conflict was resolved at the end. As the play closed, Hester’s son tell his mother he knows what word was written on the wall. He goes on to call her a “slut” several times until Hester loses her mind and ends up killing her son. This represented Hester taking control of her life. She had been easily used all of her life and allowed others to shape her…
