The Selkies Play Analysis

My favorite musical we have watched in here is a tie between Newsies and Les Mis, but this about Newsies. Newsies is a phenomenal Broadway production. Fun fact it was released as The News Boys in the United Kingdom. It was produced by Walt Disney Pictures and directed by choreographer Kenny Ortega.

Our Town is a play written by Thornton Wilder in 1937. Our Town is a play about the daily life in Act One, love and marriage in Act Two and death and dying in Act Three. The play is about two main characters, Emily Webb and George Gibbs. The play in Act One just goes through the daily life of the characters. Act Two it shows the love and marriage between these two characters and last Act Three shows life after death of the characters. The play has a man called the Stage Manager that is mainly a narrator throughout the play but also takes on the role of people in the town. The Stage Manager knows many thing about the people in the play Our Town.  The Stage Manager steps in, describes scenes, and seems to start and stop the action of the play whenever he wants. The Stage Manager has many similarities to God. The Stage Manager doesn't only know everything about everyone, he can also see into the future. The Stage Manager is also present in every scene watching it all play out. The Stage Manager and God are different because the Stage Manager unlike God makes

Teechers, a play written by John Godber in 1987, bases itself on youth and the playwrights own perspective of the corrupt education system. His poignant introduction to the text of the play begins, "Teechers was designed to be played by three actors, multi-role-playing twenty other parts in a play-within-a-play format.” Everything about the play is reduced to the bare minimum: actors, stage, and audience." And this ideology of "essentials" is the centre piece for the play. He wittily applies a Brechtian approach with three pupils, Salty, Gail, and Hobby who are able to use this versatility from multi-rolling in portraying many characters served with a platter of comedic and melodramatic nature. On a serious note though, the play is Somewhat

Playspent is an online-based game of balancing the budget while doing all the activities necessary in a life of a low-income person or family. It is designed in a way to present the life of a low-income person or family. It might be an online-based game but it has a lot of connection with the real life scenarios. Based on my experience of playing this game, it is a game that requires critical to make each and every decision in various scenarios. During the game, I couldn’t understand it is something I am doing online rather; it is designed in a way that made me feel I am actually making the decisions in my real life. This game can easily pursue someone to think about the reason behind poverty and the life of people with poverty. Moving on to

In Summary, with these three examples it is shown that the play and the movie contrast quite a bit. Most of the story line and the dialogue were very similar to the original story in the movie but some things were changed, possibly to shorten the story to be able to make

The first words you hear are “punch me” which blows your mind. It makes you ask, “why would someone want to be punched?”. As the play goes on you find out why and it makes you take a step back to realize just how serious this topic is. Just like the production A Chorus Line, you felt for the characters and that connection you had with them only developed more and more throughout the production. One example of this would be how one of the main characters, “Amy” felt throughout the duration of the play. Amy felt that she was alone, and no one would be there for her while she was enduring something that no child should ever have to undergo by themselves. The second example would be “Ester” who was so willing to do anything Amy asked because she wanted friendship and acceptance so badly. The beginning of the play was filled with Ester constantly asking if she was punching her correctly or could do anything to help Amy. This really connects to us as young adults and adolescents because we are constantly looking for acceptance from our peers. This was shown very clearly through the characterization of Ester throughout the

Overall I think the actors and everyone involved in the making of this play did a very good job, even though I liked the performance of some actors better than others. The fact that this translation of the play was a more modern version original play made it more fun to watch according to me. Unfortunately, the fact that I was not able to fully understand the actors’ dialog throughout the play made it less entertaining and agreeable for me to

I have never been involved with the production of any kind of play, so my partner and I decided that we would watch multiple versions of this play. There was Kenneth Branagh’s version which was sort of lack characteristic that we thought would be suiting for our “soap opera” themed performance.
