Analysis Of The Play ' After Seeing Mary Stuart '

What I like about this play is how the characters made the audience feel involve, especially john Barrymore. For instance , there was a time when he was talking to Andrew and he turn to the audience and blow a kiss or point at them . It made feel as if I was part of the play. Also I like how the characters took on the role. The characters truly portrayed their role.

I know that it is a small stage so you couldn’t do much to it, but I wish they at least put up an actual door instead of a pretend door so that you could distinguish between houses. In the end I really did like the play because it kept me interested and wondering on what was going to happen next. My boyfriend came to the first half of the play, but then had to go to class for the second half. Since the ending caught me so off guard I had to tell him what happened in the second half. The play was like a delicious dessert that you could not just stop halfway in; you have to keep enjoying it until the very end.

I will be honest with you I had a lot of trouble enjoying the play, like I said the dialect gave me trouble, plus my seats were not that great. I did however like the movie quite a bit, but I realize I am a product of a different generation as well. I have been brought up around TV and movies rather than plays

I found the play to be far superior in comparison to the original film version as the movie's writing glorified modern American consumerism. A post war financial boom brought a great amount of advertising and promotion, and the movie was overflowing with blatant celebration of products. The presence of sexism as well of the obvious lack of racially diverse main characters, was a big problem for me in my terms of likability of the movie. The play was able to strip itself of the gaudiness/lack of diversity and that left room for a brilliantly crafted sub-plot with a well rounded cast and smartly written script.

The setting and lighting was appropriate for the situation, the set and lighting designer adequately presented the scene and made the audience feels as if it was actually night time. The costumes for the play were similar to the ones in the movie, and from the time period 1930’s when the great depression was taking place. The costumes provided an interesting perspective and caught the watchers eye. I didn’t notice the hair and makeup aspects of the play other than Dill Harris’ and Scouts. The overall sound component was consistent, I think that it was easy to hear at all times: However, the sound effects could have been better, they sounded very unrealistic. The fight choreography could’ve used a little improvement, but it didn’t draw away from the play as a whole.

overall feel of the play and its characters. This paper, needless to say, also had its faults that had

The whole time they make fun of the main male character, Dean, for going to Gloria’s apartment warming party. Dean talks about how sad and pathetic the whole party was. Throughout the first act, it’s a back and forth between the four characters who work in the cubical block together. Every so often Gloria, the odd one out at the office, walks over and makes small talk. These interactions are awkward and brief. By almost the end of the first act, nothing happens until the very end when tragedy strikes. I don’t want to give everything away but it left the whole audience shocked. During the second act, you see how some of the different characters cope after this tragedy one character even signs a book deal.

It was very interesting compared to some of the other productions I’ve seen. Understanding that it wasn’t a full-length play, but it was still done very well. I especially enjoyed “Narrators Gone Bad.” I felt it was very insightful. A lot of people don’t realize or understand the detail and time and effort that goes into storytelling. I enjoyed it. They did an excellent job and I really enjoyed it. I didn’t realize there were so many different ways to tell a story, but it makes sense. If you don’t tell a story with enthusiasm or in a tone that pertains to the story, it won’t be as enjoyable or exciting. Stories can be told in many different places, in school, in your home, they can be told anywhere in the world, and it’s

Overall, I thought the performance was thoroughly enjoyable. The actors, scenery, costumes, and music all came together to create a memorable show. The production had a light, comedic feel at times, and a sad, melancholy tone in others. The play showcases the harsh reality of relationships, that they are not always as happy and carefree as you would believe. In the end, Robert and the audience come to the realization that even though relationships and marriages can be tough, sometimes it is worth it to have someone special in your life. The play ends with Robert still single, but he has a more positive outlook on his life, perhaps he is now ready to get married if the right woman comes along in his

I felt the beginning of the play to be very strange. The Scottish accent was very hard for me to understand and I felt as though the actors were mumbling a little bit. After watching the whole play, the beginning then made sense. I was very shocked to see the hatred the father has towards his wife and daughter. Watching the play, I did not understand why Elin Jean swimming in the ocean was such an awful thing. I felt bad for Elin Jean and the way she was treated. In reality, it really wasn’t an awful thing, she was just following her calling. Jean’s calling was to join the Selkies’ as her mother once did as well. The play brought an immense amount of emotion to the audience. There was hatred, anger, joy, and love brought into one play. For

To begin with I found my self-having difficulty reading the play. I immediately began writing off the play as another story of a retired salesman that went crazy from old age. The first half of Act I was especially tough to get through, but as an avid reader I knew from experience most stories have a slow start so I continued but I found my self constantly confused by the characters and their relationships with each other. The Lomans came across as extremely dysfunctional family. As I continued to read my interest was peaked and I had to find out what caused this family to end up so broken. By the beginning of Act II I was hooked. I found my self becoming focused on Biff’s character and his relationship with his father. Towards the end of Act II I could not put the play down, everything began to make sense and I finally understood the reason behind the stressed relationships between the characters.

In conclusion, I strongly think that the story of the play was not realistic because of the marriages, love at first sight, and the ending. Overall my thoughts are if Shakespeare could have changed some parts of the play it would have been less confusing and more

Lastly I would want to review for the costumes all these characters were wearing. They were nice but they should have been more interesting. I think I enjoy plays when there are changes going on. It keeps me attentive and makes me enjoy the play. I know it is hard for live performances to fulfill all the expectations of the audience but this is just my opinion. I think actors should try to wear something different at least once.

Each scene brought us closer to a climax and built anxiety as well. I was tuned in the whole time and excited to hear what the next piece of dialogue would be. I felt like someone who was a part of the play and I was feeling all the affects of each character and even the employees who were going to lose their jobs. I did not know which side I should defend. Each character played their role to perfection and each one was believable. The one female made it a bit obvious that she was looking behind the audience for either support, a timing signal or cadence, or possibly reading her script from a projected screen that was not visible to the audience. During the play I was able to identify with Seth the most. Time and time again I find myself having to persuade someone to agree with my opinion because I believe my opinion toward a decision is always the best option but unlike Seth I am a bit more open. I have never been faced with a decision as strategic as Seth’s but the ones I have faced in my lifetime have put me in predicaments where I have to back up my opinion with facts to add some credibility to my

I have never been involved with the production of any kind of play, so my partner and I decided that we would watch multiple versions of this play. There was Kenneth Branagh’s version which was sort of lack characteristic that we thought would be suiting for our “soap opera” themed performance.
