Summary Of Bill W. And Dr. Bob Play

The technical aspects of the production such as scenery, properties and costumes also played a keynote in the productions success. The scenery was fabulous it truly made the play. It was very realistic and extremely vibrant. Almost the entire play was performed in one setting, except for the railcar and dance scenes. The house, the main setting, was magnificent with painstakingly placed detail in every corner. All elements in the house matched wonderfully, for example the furniture, the photos on the wall, the telephone and even the trash can. Little bits of detail were everywhere adding to the beautification of the set, for example the lace decorations on the chairs, the etched glass above the front door and even the Christmas tree.

The script shows ordinary people with everyday situations that many people would be able to relate to on one level or another. The experiences on display throughout the play can be understood by those who may live in small towns like the one in the script or those who reside in major urban areas.

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.

Our Town was done very differently than the other plays I have read and I thought it was interesting. I liked that the stage manager broke the fourth wall multiple times and spoke to the audience, creating more interaction with them and keeping people entertained and drawn in. They also placed actors in the audience for a scene. I think this is a

This was the first play or theatre performance that I have attended. I was unsure of what to expect, but I heard great things about this play. Furthermore, the first aspect of this production that caught my attention was the design of the set. The design gave the feeling of a run down urban neighborhood by making the outer parts of the stage look like an old brick building. The building looked like one you would find in a low-income area or projects. The scenery of the play set the stage for what type of production this would be. I especially liked the way they carefully chose not to place just any kind of props on the stage. The dusty

One of the biggest worries when reinterpreting the play is whether or not to change is context; for our audience, as a director we must contemplate about whether or not it is better to change the context to make it more applicable to our society or to just leave it. However, in this case, I have decided to change the setting of the play by modernizing it to be set in modern America. The modernization of the play will allow for a new canvas where a whole new variety of ideas can be explored.

Prior to attending the play, I did not expect it to be something that would interest me. Halfway through the play I was surprised at how easily the play was flowing. Transitions between scenes were planned accordingly. The play kept me thoroughly entertained and overall very thrilled that I attended. The actual script was well-written and easily followed. The actors did more than enough to make the play as enjoyable as possible through humor and overall great acting and also making it clear that they are thoroughly enjoying

When I first entered the theatre, I saw a beautiful circle map directly center of the stage. It was not drawn or painted but rather looked like a tile pieces. Directly behind the circle way a changeable banner that showed what city the play was in at that moment. Behind the banner was the musicians and their instruments. Looking at the set before the play began exited me. It was a very minimal set, which allowed me to imagine all the different locations throughout the play. The set did not differ my attention, allowing me to imagine, almost like I was a young child dreaming. I did not find anything I did not like about the set, almost like there was

    It terms of presentation for the play, the set is small, simple but an adequate way of presenting the performance. The set is designed as a cozy living room and dining room setting. The front of the set consists of a couch and seating

This play is a memory play introduced by the main character and narrator, Tom Wingfield, based on his recollection of his mother, Amanda, and sister, Laura. After their father leaves them their family is stuck living in the past. Tom works at a warehouse trying his best to support his sister and mother. Tom often finds himself bored and uses cinema movies and drinking to escape his everyday life. Amanda, Tom’s mother, is obsessed with finding a gentleman caller for Tom’s sister, Laura, who spends most of her time with her glass collection. After Tom brings Jim, a gentleman caller who turns out to be engaged, home Laura learns a valuable life lesson.

And I feel as though if you do a great job on the set design then you set yourself for up for a successful play and also you capture the audiences attention and that will go along way. And I strongly felt that the way the stage was set up, it was really well thought out, particularly the background. Steven Decker, who was the set designer really brought out the feel of having being in jules (played by Ryan King) subterranean university research lab. The little attention to detail, from cabinets being where they are suppose to be, the only slight problem I had was the table that was in front of the couch, felt like that didn't need to be set there, made the place seem out of

Wonderfully directed by BT McNicholl, it seems difficult to tell you about the tale without giving away the entire story and/or diminishing the comedic value. It revolves around a family in addition to some crazy characters with several storylines and many hysterical twists filling this two-act play. You truly become engrossed in the conversations and hilarity as the production has clever, enthralling writing

The play illustrated the ugly side of the world by acting them into small little scenes in the play that happens all around the room. What I personally feel about the play was the scenes are all so true! The same incident is happening around us every

His complex characterization and difficult subject matter appealed to a new generation of actors” (Sloan). He lived a tough childhood. He had a father who never supported his dreams, and a mother who emotionally neglected him. Those events eventually made him recur to alcohol as a way to deal with his problems. Those life events are seen all throughout the play. The alcoholic father who disappears on Willie, is his father who was never there for him. The heartless mother who prostituted her daughter and abandoned her other one, is his mother who never showed him any love or affection. Finally, Williams’ himself is embedded into play both as Willie and her father. He is the alcoholic father, because he was an alcoholic himself and her at same times because he was a lonely child too. Although, he physically had both of his parents, emotionally neither showed him any love or support. His parents’ beliefs were prioritized over showing their own son any kind of love, support, or affection. He was a clever playwright with a tough childhood. However, it was those events that gave him the inspiration he needed to write the successful plays he did. He turned his suffering into writing, and gave his audiences a look into his life, without them even realizing

The setting I have been familiar with. The lighting was good for the kind of play which was performed. It took us back to the olden times and it felt good watching the old town themes. Not a lot to say about the lighting or the setting of the play. Overall it was good.
