Comedy Errors Play

The play was very well done and was not dull even though it was catered to a large audience. The musical numbers are very entertaining, and the spectacle, both visual and emotional, is well accomplished. I would recommend this to most children and adults, due to the Christmas themes and general lightheartedness of the play.

The play of Our Town, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. This play was one of the best plays that I have ever seen and it was definitely worth the price of admission. This was the best play that I have ever seen because most of the characters knew their lines and they did a marvelous job using the stage without any scenery in the background.

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

My favorite part of the entire play, which may seem weird is that face that the scene changes were in character. As Jean put on her jack, she was in character looking out into the crowd. That was just such a nice touch that they added and should be applauded. Secondly, the fact that they had the performance in the upstage rather than in the large auditorium. It was such a minor thing, but I actually had to move me feet because I was worried that I would accidentally trip an actor. That was amazing! It made the play feel more intimate and like I was actually in the rooms, experiencing what they were.

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.

In conclusion, I thought this play was a great choice for me to see at the theatre. I was glad I went to see it because it made me realize that your opinion doesn’t have to be the most popular opinion. I need to stand up for what I believe in and that is what this play taught me. I do prefer a comedy over a tragedy and I am upset with the ending but I cannot complain because I enjoyed this play very

To start, one of the many things that stood out to me was The Lady who was mysteriously present in every scene. Without lines until the very end of the performance, it was like she was watching and learning from the play simultaneously with audience. Initially, I couldn’t pinpoint the importance of her role in the production, yet along with

The overall production helped clarify the plot of the story for me and gave me more clarity for concepts I did not fully grasp. Certain scenes I did not understand as well while reading such as the scene when Benedict is hiding from Leonato and Pedro was confusing as I read it, but seeing it be performed helped me see how the scene worked and also the comedic elements in the scene. I also struggled to understand that Beatrice and Benedict’s friends were tricking them into liking one another. I struggled understanding the deception that takes place in the story such as the scene in which Don Pedro discussed tricking Hero into falling in love with Claudio in Act one, Scene one:

Shakespeare didn't have lights, or fog machines or expensive stage set ups. He didn't have women to act for him. This is what makes him so great. He was able to put on an entertaining show for people that made sense. He was able to make it so people would want to come and see his shows. Shakespeare kept the people coming back to his shows which was very rough considering the circumstances he had to deal with. He had to teach the actors their parts in only a matter of days and they had to

I had been to a few musicals near my hometown, but they were rather lackluster and not very well produced. This left a sour taste in my mouth when it came to amateur theatre performances, so I hesitated in buying tickets for Oklahoma!. When I talked to my teaching assistant, she persuaded me to give it a try because I might have a very different experience. I am glad that I went, because the performance was a very vibrant show that meshed the excitement of college students with the pioneer lifestyle of the great plains.

You can have the best set and the best director in the world and without good acting the play is bland and meaningless. Fortunately there was good acting in both of the acts. In Bourbon the main character Roy portrayed the stereotypical war veteran, always at a bar, drunk, and rambling about stories in the past. Best of all he did so in a believable manner, his age also helped reinforce the believability of the character. Ray portrayed the younger brother quite well, once again had the age to make it seen as if he was the younger brother to Roy. Ray played his character quite well looking up to his brother through out the Bourbon scene. Cletis was well played as well; this was a character that was supposed to look and act as a dorky character and Cletis did so flawlessly. The characters made the play feel as if they were not acting rather being themselves which made the play a lot more relatable, enjoyable and believable. In the Laundry act of the play Elizabeth was portrayed by a woman who was similar in age as Roy which helped keep the play’s realistic theme throughout the play. All of the actors did a great job with their accents and added that southern feel to the play. Acting is a vital part in all productions in pushing the setting and making the play seem

Does a family always find their way back together and can a family bond be broken? In the Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare he shows how a family comes back together even though the distance and the time spent apart. No matter how far a family bond won’t be broken.

The Comedy of Errors, is a play written by William Shakespeare, which follows the lives of two sets of twin brothers, Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus of Ephesus and their slaves Dromio of Syracuse and Dromio of Ephesus: who were separated after birth and how they were all brought back together out of error. That error not only affects the lives of the men, but also their significant others specifically Antipholus of Ephesus’ wife Adriana. The error that all parties face signifies an overarching theme of time; every error that occurs would not have happen would it not be for time. The Comedy of Errors is a depiction of how time leads to misfortune in the lives of its characters.

The Comedy of Error is one of Shakespeare’s earliest pieces. Although the story itself seems to be a farcical comedy, a physical comedy without a deep meaning, his language makes every character to be vivid, and grants each of these characters a different personality, and reflects the relationship between different characters. His language creates an environment that the characters are not merely people on the stage, but actual human being in front of the audience in everyday life. Another element that makes his audience to care about the characters is the relativity the audience with the story. Here are the reasons to the statement above.

I enjoy comedies and I love many of the songs that were in the play so I could not help but laugh and sing along at times. The production was very good overall. I was uncomfortable with the strippers. The very suggestive dances and constant presence of the outfits were not necessary for the overall story. The females playing the strippers did a good job and did deliver in lines and lyrics. The actors did a very convincing job. The vocals were strong and the live rock band gave the show a punch. The small stage and limited seating at the Virginia Samford Theatre were strengths. The actors were close and you could see every expression. The size of the theatre helps pull you into the play.
