The Spitting 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.

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.

 The play contained many scenarios of good versus evil, and the characters that generally possessed these feelings and intentions. But it must be understood that there were the intentions, the incentives, and

Tomson Highway’s “Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing” or Dry Lips for short has left countless traces of theatrical records. Tragi-comedy drama has two acts. It was first produced in 1989 by Native Earth Performing Arts and Theatre Passe Muraille. Later in 1991, the production relocate to Royal Alexandra Theatre. It, also, was the first work of aboriginal theatre on the Royal Alexandra Theatre stage. The drama became the first Native Canadian play to receive major commercial production in Canada. Dry Lips was the first play in the history of Canadian theatre to receive full productions and extended run at the Royal Alexandra theatre. Its performance marked a special victory for an Indian cultural community, especially for a community determined

Another theme expressed in act 1, was anger, specifically with the soldiers vs the civilians. For example, Act 1, scene 2, there is an argument between a WWII Veteran and a common hippie. The veteran says things like “Don't you curse at me, you punk! I'm an American, not some dope-smoking flower child who's nothing but a coward.” (act 1, scene 2). This line expresses the anger from the soldier has for people, like the hippie, not being brave enough to stand up and fight for America. The hippies believing everyone should be peaceful with one and never have any problems with the rest of the world is something that isn’t realistic to the soldier, and that’s why he was angry- you have to fight of it and stand your ground.

The play takes place after World War II, during the postwar booms. The era of the Baby boom, the growth of the suburbs, the tension of the cold war, and the civil rights movements. During this time, African Americans had an ongoing war with the dilemma of racial discrimination. In 1954, during the historical case of Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme court decided that black children were free to attend any institution they desired, and as Afro-Americas families enrolled their children in all “white schools”, many used hostility and extortion to prevent any Afro- American from entering schools. In 1955, “Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give her seat on a city bus to a white person. Her arrest sparked a 13-month boycott of the city’s buses by its black citizens, which only ended when the bus companies stopped discriminating against African American passengers” (A+E Networks, 2010). Acts of hate against black citizens became a daily dilemma, from lynching them, to name calling, to hate crimes.

The play showed the theme of “Stereotyping in the World” through the characters’ proper reasoning, communicating, and believing in good faith. Twelve Angry Men allowed the views of many different men to see past the outside of a person and look at who they actually are. The play will put the test of each of the jurors’ character and show that the clear theme in the play is “Stereotyping in the World.” The boy has been out in a life where he has no other way out of the setting and must live in. Even though he lives in the area does not mean that he is that category and so does the

(Although you already mentioned that this was not something you felt you had adequate knowledge on the subject matter.) It seems to be a hole in the overall knowledge. Students are given the knowledge to understand much of the Era and the perspectives of what the soldiers felt, but not the combat situations that they went through. Many men died and even more mutilated by these combat situations yet very little is known. However, for the class I think we got enough to get an idea despite not knowing the actual names and locations of the engagements. I think many who study history tend to focus on the military so it is refreshing and challenging to examine an era and a war and understand it without looking at troop movements and

Our class play, “Ducks in Cowville,” was a flop. The acting was terrible, the costumes appeared dreadful, and all the bad news about our play got out fast. It was not just one person’s fault though. We all contributed to the disaster.

The play ‘Twelve Angry Men’ written by playwright Reginald Rose. The play conveys an optimistic view of society and the justice system. Set in New York 1957, the play delves into the journey of twelve ordinary men as they struggle to come to a unanimous decision, which in effect will determine the fate of a young boy. The play empowers diversity rather than continuity by composing a cross-section of characters that embrace their differences. The playwright exhibits the notion that prejudices and biases are factors in every dispute and can mask the truth. Additionally, Rose depicts the dangers of a jury system that relies on 12 individual men that unanimously try to reach a life or death decision.

In the play, 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose, prejudice isn’t the only way to discovering the truth. You can discover the truth by the highlights of people’s feelings and emotions. Things that hid the truth were the physical environment and the unfairness of the society between how people see the different races of people.

Twelve Angry Men is a dramatic courtroom play by Reginald Rose published in 1954, which focuses on a jury of twelve men arguing the fate of a young boy, who has been accused of being a murderer. This play cleverly portrays the fact that prejudice exists in society and within every conflict. There are many sources of bigotry in this play, those being mostly character and legal conflict. Many jurors within this play fail to consider all the evidence and take it at face value, this leads to reasonable doubt, which in turn introduces controversy between characters.

On Friday night, I attended one of the showings of A Memory A Monologue A Rant and A Prayer. I didn’t exactly know what to expect but I was excited nonetheless to watch this play. After hearing all the actors tell the stories from the original authors, I chose the story “First Kiss” by Mollie Doyle. I chose this story because upon first hearing this I was completely disgusted that someone could do this to a child and seem remorseless. I grew up in a household where my mother had a family owned Daycare business. This wasn’t your under the table Daycare business either. Every month, we would receive a visit from the state to make sure that everything was up to par and that the children and the staff were being taken care of. I have always grown up around a lot of children and hearing this story set something off in me. We would regularly take care of inner city underprivileged

The jury that is chosen for the case all come from very different pasts, and most of them have completely different morals and values. The clash of these different views and discussing the case reveal past experiences and prejudices that some of the men have. The dynamic between past experience and prejudices fuels their arguments, but they are challenged throughout the play. Some of them had prejudices against people who live in the slums and prejudices against teenagers.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s play School for Scandal was an interesting play. The play was very easy to follow and read, and the characters, though mostly stock, were likeable for me. I found a copy of the show on IUcat, and that performance really stuck out to me because it modernized the characters from their original rendering. I liked reading this play, but actually seeing it performed helped me understand some of the intent behind the characters and to really see their personalities take form on the stage. In the version I watched the gossipers in Act 1 Scene 1 would strike a pose and hold it when another gossiper walked into the room (The School). This added a lot of humor to the play, and gave a nice visual effect as well. The school for Scandal is a very relatable play, because scandals and rumors are still very much a part of our society today.
