Analysis Of In The Next Room Or The Vibrator Play

A particularly effective element of the production was the use of costume. The costumes exposed the time period, transporting the audience back to 1981, immediately involving me in the story. Costume represented the social class the characters belonged to. Mr and Mrs Lyons were rich and had a high social status, their costume established their character; Mr. Lyons was wearing a suit and Mrs. Lyons wore tights and uniform. In contrast, the Johnson family were living in poverty, and this is also shown through the usage of costume. I as audience felt empathy for Mrs Johnson as through costume I could see her financial struggle.

“The Producers” is one of the most famous musicals in Broadway. Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan adapted the musical from the 1968 film of the same name. The musical is about two producers that oversell interest in a Broadway flop in order to become wealthy. The musical consist in play with in the musical. The producers, Max and Leo, choose the worst play ever written and the worst director. However, the play turns out to be successful and Max goes to jail and Leo escapes with the money to Rio. The two more important external event in the play are the event when Leo decides to help Max and the moment when the play becomes a success.

“Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.” (Fashion Quotes 1) The words once spoken by Henry David Thoreau are politically correct. People often look at Elizabethan‘s choice of fashion and ridicule everything about it from the hair, down to the stockings. As it appears, fashion has always been a broad topic of discussion in the world. Whether it is NY Fashion Week or a Macy’s fashion show, fashion is something that has always been an eye catcher. Fashion has been around for many years, and whether we know it or not, Elizabethan fashion has influenced the way modern fashion is today.

The costumes used in Luhrmann’s film are very modern as using the original Elizabethan style costumes would make the film more historical and therefore would not appeal to a younger audience. Luhrmann has used two distinctive costume styles to help the audience distinguish the difference between the two families. For the Montague family, Luhrmann has put the characters in unbuttoned, bright coloured Hawaiian shirts and given the males short blonde hair to link to these characters beachside lifestyles. For the Capulet family, Luhrmann has used stylish but sinister looking costumes such as vests, and silver heeled boots to show the audience how these men are similar to Mexican drug

On October 10, 2017 I saw “Guys and Dolls”, at The Milwaukee Repertory Theater, and it was astonishing.

The play I saw was The Woman in Black by Steven Mallatratt, based on the novel by Susan Hill. It was a matinee performance in The Lyric, Theatre Royal on Thursday the 21st of May 2015. The Woman in Black follows the tale of Arthur Kipps, who has hired an actor to help him become confident in telling his ghastly tale. The Theatre Royal is a regional theatre, this means that different performances come down to perform for a certain amount of time.

Wit, a play written by Margaret Edson, has many themes incorporated into her text. The idea and control of power over herself and the influence over others is shown in this play, in the viewpoint of Vivian Bearing. It shifts in terms as the play continues on. At the beginning of the play we see Vivian as a witty, seventeenth-century poetry professor. She only knows things that are associated with her field of study. Yet, she holds a great deal of power over her students and the rest of the faculty. We can see this through the words of Jason Posner, who was once a student of hers, but is now one of her doctors. I believe that the scenes between Vivian and Kelekian and with Vivian and the technician showcase how one’s control over power, and

Starting with the “Grand Rounds” scene, the play begins to really reflect on the doctor-patient relationship. Although we see up to this point, the powerful connection that is forming between Susie and Dr. Bearing, there seems to be no warmth or human emotion in her relationships with Dr. Kelekian and Jason. This scene is especially important because it shows us how impersonal Dr. Bearing feels the teaching hospital and its doctors are towards her. We start to see Vivian lose herself because she finally realizes that as a teacher, she behaves and treats her students the same way that the doctors behave and treat her. This lack of interaction becomes a prevalent theme throughout the play, and we see Dr. Bearing start to transform while gaining a fresh but different perspective, not only in her profession but also in life.

Ever wonder where the strange fashion choices of society’s favorite Disney movies originated? It might be a bit of an understatement to say that the apparel of men during the Elizabethan Era was odd, but each piece of their outfit had a crucial role to play in their daily life. Clothing worn during the Elizabethan Era was greatly dictated by the Sumptuary Laws, the wealth of the individual, and fashion trend of neighboring countries.

“Later that night when Thomas roller over and lurched into her, she would open her eyes and think of the place that was hers” this proves the point that she cannot even express herself sexually because she does not feel as if she has control in the situation.  Her mind wanders elsewhere, in a place where she is her own master, instead of what is reality. Additionally, the main character’s husband shows some selfish tendencies in the fact that he may not notice his wife’s discontentment with his affection.  However, this may also present the lack of communication between man and wife and therefore may cause a sense of isolation from her husband.

The movie and the play are made in two different time periods. Since the movie is in a more recent time period, the clothes worn by the characters in the movie are more modern. The clothes in the play are more elegant and reflect the 16th century era.

Shakespeares plays were filled with rich and poor. The rich were to sit up top, and wore glamorous colors such as purple to represent their wealth. The poor stood below dressed in filthy rags. Again this shows justice to how everone in town loved his literatacy, and the sense of enertainment in watching a good

Many costumes went from dark to bright colors, depending on the mood of the current scene. Meanwhile, the scenes would alternate from clean to muddy and gray quite often. Branagh and the others that came together to make this film did a great job by changing the colors to show the moods that define the play and the main character accurately. This made it much easier for me to understand what was going to happen next seeing as though a ‘happy’ scene wouldn’t

The people who lived during the Elizabethan Era were not allowed to wear whatever they like or desired. Their Fashion choices had to be followed by a strict law! The English people chose to establish social classes by the colors they wore and this had an affect on costumes used in theatre. Queen Elizabeth I followed the sumptuary laws, which was only certain classes were consent to wear specific fabric and colors. Therefore in plays the actors could only wear certain colors for their costumes that displayed what role and class their character was in. The clothes worn during this era was a result of Queen Elizabeth’s sumptuary laws, which had an affect on costumes used in plays, and each color a person wore had a significant meaning.

All the character were wearing normal clothing nothing special. In the first scene where Hamlet is approaching the press conference. He pulls up in a hat and loose fitting jeans he has this hipster type of look. A complete three sixty from the medieval clothing that he was in when Shakespeare wrote the play. Through the play he is wearing normal clothing that would have been popular in the 2000. For Ophelia she was dressed casual but her hair was in braids which is something that women would have worn in later years. I liked how they incorporated that in the movie. Claudius was far dressed from the typical king clothing he did not have a crown or anything like that. The entire movie he was dressed in a fancy suit and a suitcase which is the modern version of a
