As mentioned before Greek ritual theatre honored the gods and where added in plays, for Medieval Theatre religious ritual was used in the form of creating plays to teach about the bible. In Medieval Theatre, mystery, mortality and miracle were used to create their stories and to honor the birth and rebirth. Both Greek and Medieval follow the ritual of birth, rebirth and the cycle of death. Rituals became a tradition. Even though modern theatre does not follow honorable gods or religion, we do honor culture. Ancient theatre is still being used in modern theatre because their stories are still being told till this day. The play Zoot Suit has a different spin off from early traditions; this is because Zoot Suit expressions the birth and rebirth

Lulu’s Golden Shoes is a play about a young Latino barrio girl called Ana who is based in North Philadelphia. In the play, try who finds her feminine power through an unclear path of fantasy and the imitation of her neighbor, Rosie Lulu. The performance or play is a hilariously dark, comic book exceptional satire. Lulu’s Golden Shoes was by Quiara Alegría Hudes and directed by Brenna Geffers. The play started out not so interesting to me but as time went on the actors made me understand it more. At particular times in the play the conversations of the actors were intense and aggressive, especially from the alchemist. This displayed the actors’ great participation in the various characters they portrayed.

Newberry College’s theater department intends to produce one of three plays: “Trifles”, “Andre’s Mother”, or “Los Vendidos”. The department wants a play that is entertaining, but that will also give the audience the chance to challenge their thinking. Of those three plays, Newberry College’s theater department should produce “Trifles” by Susan Glaspell.

As I watched the play, the dynamics of Alcoholism stuck out to me the most. The characters really exposed me to what a person who has this disease would be like; and the struggle that one goes through to kick this deadly habit of drinking. The play also touched on how not only does alcoholism effects the individual; it

In the short story “Trifles”, the themes of isolation of the characters, gender differences, and character conflicts affect the actions of the characters in the play.

The setting for the play takes place in Alphabet City New York in the early 1990’s where diseases like AIDS and poverty for the community was at an all-time high. This tragic situation left some members of the community with no jobs, food, or homes to survive with. Some individuals through the play experienced different endeavors from dealing with finding themselves to learning how to excel at a film career. The struggles they faced in the city made for a good setting and situation to highlight the adversities people living in Alphabet City endured during that

By creating a false image of Song’s gender precisely, Hwang brings another remarkable topic in this play, which is sexism. When Gallimard sees Song performing the dead scene from the opera Madama Butterfly, he cannot separate her role as a

Communication is the act or process of transmitting information (Merriam Webster, 2015). It takes place in verbal, non-verbal, and written methods and is judged for its effectiveness. Failure to discriminate is an error I recently observed as the Army communicated its changes to the Army Combat Uniform. Failure to discriminate is defined as the failure to perceive and communicate changes in events or significant differences (BOOK).

The hook of the play is that the exploration of these themes is told through the eyes of four “foodies.” The play is told using food as a metaphor to nurture a relationship or to sour it. Like food, the relationships are sweet and bittersweet.

They usually float around the ideas of gender/racial oppression and freedom. I think that this play relates more to the ideas of gender and racial oppression. In the beginning of the play, the characters talk about the stereotypical African-Americans and how wrongly they are portrayed by the media. Also, there is a scene where He asks the audience what the role of a man should be. He asks us that if the woman is strong, independent, courageous, where that leaves the man. He also says that men shouldn’t cry. Although this is widely believed, I think that everyone should have the right to express they’re emotions. Furthermore, the play is left with an unresolved ending. Some of the texts that we read in class ended the same way. For instance, “Hills like white elephants”. It leaves the reader wonder what could have happened next. The same thing goes for the play. It had me questioning what happened the couple, and the child of

The ideology of an unrealistic world illustrates how truth emerges through “motifs” . The “tea” drinking ritual symbolises social status. It suggests we are judged by our social etiquette, conforming to the laws of society issignificant for them. It has been viewed as naturalistic which is symbolic due to its humorous presentation. The classes are portrayed in a hasty manner as we notice Gwendolyn and Cecily struggle to regain their composure as “sugar is not fashionable anymore”.Furthermore, it invites the audience to mock these two ladies; instead of using their intellectual talent they are wasting their time contemplating whether “cake is rarely seen at the best houses”. Wilde’s presentation of the social hierarchy mocks the upper-class

or history than many plays. However, the play does have a few references towards political problems being faced during this time. For instance there were problems with social status and political standing.

The setting lures you into the play, it opens on the scene of John and Minnie Wright’s abandoned farmhouse. A chaotic kitchen, with unwashed dishes, a loaf of uncooked bread, and a dirty towel on the table, reflects to me that the ladies stand together, accentuating both the way they have been pushed together by their male-ruled society. The men repeatedly dismiss things as beneath their notice, such things as the canning jars of fruit that are, in the men’s opinions, women’s concerns. Susan Glaspell’s play puts major emphasize on the men and how they never recognize that they have forced the women to be concerned about these things, by not allowing them to be concerned about anything else. The men’s dismissal reflects a larger mindset of devaluing women and their opinions and interests in general. Incidentally, this rejection eventually makes the men to overlook the very evidence they seek. Author Susan Glaspell's play examines the connections amongst married couples and reflects generalizations of sexual orientation, especially a marriage that ended in manslaughter. Susan Glaspell's Trifles, is a story of an abused wife who kills her abusive husband.
