Summary Of The UF SOTD And Tilted Windmills

On November 18, 2017, I saw the Richland College Theatre Department’s production of RIDE by Eric Lane. In this essay, I will express what we’re the exceptional things that I saw. Also, I will use terms from what I learned from class, to explain some factors that I interpreted from the play.

They followed the steps on how to get an audience attention when telling a story or doing a presentation. First, they told us what they are going to do which was to kill the king, and how they are going to do it, and lastly why they did it. One thing I found really successful was even though the play was really comical the actors were able to keep the storyline in a way that I could understand. The show kept me on edge, it kept me wondering what craziness is going to happen next. Although the show was really comical it also had a lot of life lessons that I learned. Firstly, one thing I learned from watching the performance is that” Once a traitor always a traitor.” In the show, there was a guy that plotted a coup with a soldier so they could overthrow the king so that soldier “ “captain Bondure” could take over. In the end, the traitor ended up betraying the soldier and stole the crown. The second thing I learned from this performance is never let anything bring you down no matter what the circumstances are. In the case of Ubu Roi, the princess lost her dad. Then her mom died right in her hands while they were on the run hiding in a cage. She never gave up on her idea to revenge her families’ death.

Also the excessively violent actions of the characters shock the audience at times and works to show a bloody part of American history. Furthermore, the film feels as if you are thrown into history with wood constructed sets and men armed with clubs and knives. These elements work to enhance the thematic content of the play and the viewer’s intense experience of an untraditional period piece that relates a different version of American history, one darker and more anarchic. They sets, accents, and character actions all add to the authentic feel of the movie, which makes the film feel like it is a historical narrative, while also being interlinked with an individual story of vengeance that provides not only a historical account, but entertainment for the

A dramatist who explores the theme of revenge throughout his play is Arthur Miller in ‘The Crucible. There are different characters in this play that carry this theme of revenge, Abigail being one in particular, as she seeks revenge against Goody Proctor. This is due to Goody Proctor firing Abigail from her job after she had found out Abigail had had an affair with her husband. This seventeen-year-old girl also has an endless capacity for dissembling. John Proctor, Reverend Parris, and the Putnam’s are also characters in the play that are out to seek revenge for their own reasons. It could through the theme of revenge, be said that Miller tries to enhance your application of the play.

I saw the play “The Curious Savage” written by John Patrick. This play was directed by Jocelyn Sanders at the Harbison Theatre, which I attended on June 24, 2016 at 8pm. I arrived early to get a good look at the theatre, the set-up of the stage, and to get my notes together before the play started. The Harbison Theatre at Midlands Technical College is a small, yet inviting community theatre. The theatre was set up in three large rows of seats, which were situated separately from the stage and actors.

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.

On Thursday evening, February 9, 2017, my mother drove me to Georgia State Perimeter College Clarkston Campus which is located in Clarkston, Georgia for my second mandatory encounter for HUMN 1000. Due to the fact that I was going at night, it was quite a boring drive to Georgia State University Clarkston Campus (GSUPC); however, on the way to GSUPC, I had the anxious feeling of not knowing what to expect from the play I was going to watch, SHE. SHE is a play that was written and devised by Shirlene Holmes and Anastasia Wilson. Eventually, I would reach the Fine Arts building at GSUPC with my anxiety at full throttle. Although my mother drove me to see the play, she did not stay to watch driving away while wishing me good luck. I then

Upon watching the play Outside Mullinger, I began to understand the notion of creating the world of the play. The set design, lighting, actors, and costumes all came together to move beyond the script and create an intimate, and approachable world that the audience could feel apart of. From reading the script, to then seeing it in production I developed a better sense of the plays message.

I don’t know a lot about theater, and I can’t name many plays. But, it is easily recognizable that The Laramie Project is a particularly important piece of theatre. It entertains its audience, as any other play can do, but it simultaneously sheds light on a terrifying reality many easily ignore. It is a profoundly moving play that has a vital message, a brilliantly distinct style and in most aspects an exceptional production.

The dramaturge explores the inner and outer world of the play and how the use of Design can be appropriate to the plays context and accurately portray the playwright’s intention while still conforming to the conventions and practices of the period.

Whilst the Greek and Roman predecessors of revenge tragedy showed little compunction in gruesome on-stage violence, the Elizabethan spectators were, by the time of publication and performance of Shakespearian plays, a more educated audience who would appreciate the poetic style and subtle references to classical literature. This is not to say that the sixteenth century public were sensitive to acts of startling brutality; public executions and bear baiting were frequent occurrences that no doubt permeated the psyche of a nation. It has been argued that Shakespeare, conscious of his contemporaries' efforts in this genre decided to `out-do his predecessors' but a far more probable explanation is that Shakespeare, accommodating the

Shakespeare's famous revenge tragedy Hamlet is a story of unrelenting twists and thrills of madness and revenge. I have chosen to compare this play to Michael Almereyda's film made in 2000 that is a modern interpretation of the original text and was an attempt to do to Hamlet what Baz Luhrman did to Romeo and Juliet.

The theme of Revenge has been utilized in numerous works of art throughout history, including books, plays, movies, etc. Revenge is the result of one’s desire for vengeance, however, revenge is known to be implied under high emotions of anger thus not with reason concluding with a horrible outcome. Shakespeare’s play ‘Hamlet’ is no doubt a play about a tragedy caused by revenge; Prince Hamlet’s retribution for his father, King Hamlet’s murder and Laertes vengeance for his father, Polonius’ murder. The theme of revenge in Hamlet is portrayed through various literary techniques such as foreshadowing and irony.

R.A. Foakes in “The Play’s Courtly Setting” explains the burden of revenge which the protagonist must carry for the duration of the play:

This production ticks every box; from staging to acting, the play is refined down to absolute fluidity. Immersing themselves in the roles completely, the actors in the Old Vic production embody Miller’s characters in ways unparalleled by other performances. Seeing the actors wholly capture the raw emotions of their complex characters brings the play to life, and with their efforts, the audience feels so deeply along with them.
