Reviewed by Word Press critic Michael Dykstra, the Canadian play The Drawer Boy, by Michael Healey, has been suggested to be a play containing “no violence” (Dykstra); however, this conclusion deserves further analysis. In the play, the author uses violence as a way to create an identity for Angus, a main character, as well as a method to develop Angus’s character. Through this play, Healey creates a personality for Angus that, although innocent at first, evolves through his exposure to violence and establishes within him an aggressive disposition.

As just stated, violence can be Shakespearean, stemming from plays such as Macbeth, which exhibits a lot of violence. Foster claims that there are two sorts of violence: “situation” violence, where it is character-on-character violence and there is always a guilty party, and “authorial” violence, which is written in by the narrator and is used for plot advancement or thematic development. Macbeth portrays many examples of both types of violences.

In the Australian play The Removalists (David Williamson, 1972) and a series of posters titled Explaining Away Violence (designed by Fabrica, released by World Health Organisation) the composers, David Williamson and Fabrica use the use of language in different ways to portray significant themes and ideas. The foremost themes and ideas featured and explored in each text are related to violence and conflict. The set text The Removalists can be classified as a ‘black comedy’ as it originates from situations that are not conceived as humorous, it has an uncomfortable composition that has a tragic outcome. The related text however is a series of eight posters called ‘Explaining Away Violence,’ each of the eight posters displays a victim of violence

Similar language techniques are employed within both texts, traditional violence is physical or verbal; the extremely aggressive and taboo word or dialogue majorly portrays the effervescent violence. Williams employs aggressive descriptions of Stanley’s actions: ‘He hurls the furs, then jerks open a small drawer’. Using such words emphasises the tension and anger that permeates the scene. The verbs applied have specific qualities to graduate even more violence; clipped consonants, which intensify the violence because the sound generated is harsh combined with opting to only singular syllable verbs; ‘he kicks the trunk’ to generate the speed and violence of the action. The choice of dynamic verbs is used to generate an atmosphere of aggression which preludes to violence; Stanley hitting Stella and the

The play the removalist ends with a negative tone because it emotionally involves the audience, hence provoking them to think about the conveyed issues even once the play is over. All throughout the play Ross and Simmons act in an appalling way towards Kenny, and at the end of the play they have killed Kenny which clearly conveys that the abuse of power never ends in positive way. The play wright manipulates the audience in a way that they are emotionally dawn into thinking they are involved in the drama, which intern creates a memorable pay.

This is a must watch Broadway show that makes your fine, terrible, or even boring day, an absolute blast. The Play That Goes Wrong has finally made its way to America and right at the heart of New York City near Times Square at the Lyceum Theatre. Therefore, the experience is a win-win situation for the audience. The Lyceum Theatre’s architecture is astonishing as it is filled with ornaments, I also realized the letter ‘L’ around the theater, but the most interesting fact is that it is a landmark. It has a proscenium stage while the audience is in the orchestra, balcony, or the mezzanine seats, like where I sat, and there is barely any space if you are a tall person. My seat was near the far end of mezzanine, I couldn’t see a part of the left side of the stage, so I found myself bending sideways to see what was going on, but I saw nothing. I found the side stage lights and a side balcony blocking my view and yet I had a great time.
