Analysis Of The Poem ' Hay Fever '

The design of the costumes and the stage was, overall, very well done. The colours of the floors, and walls, the shape of the house and the setup of all the interactions was very smooth. There was also a bit of confusion laying underneath too. The way the stairway worked was confusing, as it led to a dock, and the floor being painted with water and floating boards was also a weird nitpick, but once you saw the flow of the scenes, and what those designs meant, then everything came together neatly. The costumes tied in really well with the times. The casual wear was a lot more fancy than modern clothes, but they were still very sleek and comfortable looking. The glasses were not as thick as some modern glasses are, and the containers that hold the liquor and the other drinks look old too. The way the living room was set up also gave that 60s vibe, which is when this play took place.

Broward College, Central Campus Theater in building 6, on Sunday, the 1st of November. The play was performed by Broward College students. The type of stage was Proscenium stage with extended apron. I thought it was a little bit small, but it did not show as a problem. The pre-show was dark and a feel of suspense. I felt excited to see how everything would play out. The play takes place down south of Chicago in the 1950’s.

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

Poetry is a beautiful way to express the subtext within it, using literary devices which enhances the poem 's beauty. Poetry is considered to take distorted ideas and transforms it into beautiful words. Therefore, resulting the harsh truth being displayed in a form of a poem for readers to sink into another point of view. These creators called poets, are a group of people with a wide variety of experiences that an average person does not usually experience. They can create a more unified meaning in their masterpiece, without taking up 300 pages to exhibit their meaning, and still hold different interpretations by different readers. Poets are known to uncover the truth, which could be their experiences or reality based ideas, by beautifying the reality with literary devices to make it more relatable and enjoyable but still hold that very core of the meaning behind the poem. Poetry is a powerful vessel, between creator and reader, to change a person’s outlook of life or one’s surroundings. A poem can change moods, enhances one’s personality, gain a sense of people knowledge and become a bit more sensitive around one 's world. Even if poets are not aware of the power poetry holds, they still do it to convey an experience, a lesson or a journey. All of this relates to 'Love and Roses ' by Tracy Marshall, where the speaker is telling the reader a journey of their blinding love. The abusive relationship exists in the speaker 's life but is distracted by the idea of the

It would be made of wood with a plastic counter-top. It would feature the meager remains of a chipped-off light-green paint job. I would place 3 quartet tables on stage. One downstage-right, one upstage-center, and one downstage-left, providing a clear path to the main entrance door far stage right. The chairs would not match. There would be two or three different types of chairs dispersed among the 3 tables.

Before the performance begun, there was a couch positioned on the center of the stage. Behind the couch, a rectangular entrance was opened revealing a hallway where the actors entered. Falsettos, had changeable scenes that constantly used the rectangular entrance. It easily drawn the audiences’ attention when the actor entered because the lighting drenched the entrance, cueing the actors to enter. The vacant couch placed before the performance began could be distorted into chairs, short end tables, and a love seat. One scene I remembered that distorted the couch apart into an assortment of furniture was Marvin’s visit at the psychologist’s office. Before the scene was cued, the couch was distorted into a love seat, and a chair. These props conveniently made it a less hassle changing furniture pieces. Also, the back wall had photo images of framed pictures and books that were projected to make the set livable.

Everything appears to be correct for the time period some of the art work was questionable like the bronze chines sculpture but besides that the play seem to be very authentic. I also approached the touch of having the British door mat. The director Josh Machamer did an excellent job in working with what he had by recreating a apartment complex on stage where the audience can visually see and hear the actors during certain scenes where upstairs one conversation might be going and downstair a complete separate conversation is taking place and by proving us with a visual of both we are able to see the actors body language through out the play giving a sense of the situation and how the actor portages it. One thing that I would have prefer to seen done diffentley was the use of a really lighter instead of one with a light it made no sense to be that they would use actual matches but not a lighter. Machamer did a great job in porting the play as it was intended and created an amazing stage compared to other performances that used video boards to show the conversations that took place in the upstairs

The space allows the audience to become part of the show, and also allows the actors to be more engaged with their surroundings. The space that was picked for this production fit the play absolutely perfectly. The stage was set up in the round where the audience on three sides surrounded the stage. This type of space made for even more interaction between the audience and the actors. At one point in the play I could feel the breath of one of the actors on stage.

All of the settings were appropriate for every scene during the play. The time period and locale of the play was overall supported with the setting. The setting helped along the production without dominating the entire show. Everything put on stage was easily usable for the performers. For example, when there was a transition from one area of the set to another, the actors were all able to either climb to or from the second floor to the first

Here we were given a slight taste of the music, the dancing, costumes, even the lighting we would be seeing throughout the course of the play. Because the setting of the play was set during the 1920’s I had high expectations of how the costume designer would execute their vision for each of the actors. As I continued watching the play, I felt that the costumes were well executed for that time period. Although not all the female actors wore flappers, I thought that the outfit coordination’s put together for them were reminiscent of that time. Along with the contribution of the hair and make-up designers, their curled or wavy hair styles and their bold make-up really brought the whole thing together.

The picture shown is of Medieval Times Dinner and Theater. A show my family used to attend together every few years. The stage contains both arena and thrust stage elements, despite that, it appears to lean more towards a thrust stage due to the large prop of a castle located on one side of the stage. It contains arena elements because audience members are on all four sides. Other than that, it is an arena-like thrust stage. Furthermore, specific elements within this photo point to a thrust stage. First of all, there is one large set piece located at the back of the stage. The large castle provides and easily accessible back stage. Secondly, the floor plan of the arena does not coincide with the one entrance and exit that the photo shows. Furthermore, this entrance and exit is coming out of the primary set piece, therefore hinting towards a thrust stage. Lastly, the audience is on located

The stages that the actors performed on were usually rectangular with an extension into the middle of the auditorium (Yancy 30). In the center of the stage was usually at least one trap door to be used for special effects of

The person responsible for the backdrop of the play used only a limited number of objects but was successful in revealing the specific venue to the audience. The stairs, balcony, chandelier and the walls gave the viewer the impression that the scene was held in a palace. This was because these things are usually present in a palace making it automatic for us to think that the setting is in a palace. Whereas for the prison, which was just under the balcony of the palace, the bars, walls and even the darkness well depicted the picture of a prison. By just seeing those, one can already conclude that the place is a prison. These were also similar with the convent, whorehouses and outdoor setting. But despite these, the stage was still quite problematic because of the space. There were certain scenes when a lot of characters crowd up an area because that was only the part of the stage where the venue is

With these many events that would change the world forever came changes in the theater that would change it forever, too. James Burbage, a prominent Elizabethan actor, built the first Elizabethan playhouse and called it the Theatre (Yancey 25). The Theatre, built in 1576, would go on to set a precedent in the design of all playhouses of the era (Senn). The building was probably round or octagonal and had no ceiling so as to let in natural light since no efficient artificial lighting had been invented at this point in time (Yancey 25). Because of the need for natural light during plays, most performances took place during the afternoon (Yancey 29). On the inside of the Theatre, the stage extended to be a raised rectangle that took up about half of the ground floor (Yancey 30). Above it was a balcony on which acting could occur, such as the balcony scene from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (Yancey 31). Finally, past the back end of the stage was a concealed room called the Tiring House that served as storage for props and a dressing room for any actors during a performance (Senn).

Poetry is a reduced dialect that communicates complex emotions. To comprehend the numerous implications of a ballad, perusers must analyze its words and expressing from the points of view of beat, sound, pictures, clear importance, and suggested meaning. Perusers then need to sort out reactions to the verse into a consistent, point-by-point clarification. Poetry utilizes structures and traditions to propose differential translation to words, or to summon emotive reactions. Gadgets, for example, sound similarity, similar sounding word usage, likeness in sound and cadence are at times used to accomplish musical or incantatory impacts.
