He describes the government as disorganized. There were many ideological principles that contributed to the Russian Revolution. These ideas were based on the theories of Karl Marx. These ideas were also based on socialism, as mentioned in Document 1. In Document 7, Lenin’s laws also show ideological principles that contributed to the Russian Revolution.
In addition, World War II introduced change through industrialisation, which was key to Russia’s success in the war. These key reforming leaders and other factors of change saw Russia grow from a very deprived country in 1856 to an industrial superpower in 1964. Alexander II became known as ‘Alexander the Great Reformer’ and ‘the Tsar Liberator’ which suggests that his work and reforms changed the nature of Russian government and society to a large extent. The emancipation of the Serfs in 1861 initially appeared to have major benefits for the serfs. As Alexander II said: “We vowed in our hearts to fulfil the mission which is entrusted to Us and to surround with Our affection and Our Imperial solicitude all Our faithful subjects of every rank and condition”2.

Peter I “The Great”: Czar of Russia Peter “The Great” was an absolute monarch of Russia from 1682 until 1725. He is the most responsible sole person for “westernizing” Russia. The time period he lived in is known as the “Enlightenment” because so many European rulers were “Enlightened” in different ways and they impacted their governments, people, economy, etc. in a forward thinking way. The rulers would try to make their nations become more like what we are today, with ideas such as, no slavery, technological advancements, peace with other countries, etc.
Bringing a character on stage to life can be a difficult task. You have to find the right voice, body language, clothing, and the right expressions. In my high school the theatre students were so outgoing and creative. I admired them for their ability to take a brief description of a character and recreate that character on stage. Bret has this admirable quality.
ESSAY – APPROACHES TO ACTING: MEYERHOLD & BOAL Drama practitioners, Vsevolod Meyerhold and Augusto Boal, overlapping in periods of theatrical history, had similar aims to revolutionise the theatre. Both practitioners aimed to transform the theatre through creating a new method of actor training, contradicting previous theatre styles, changing the role of the body in performances and engaging the audience at a greater level. Boal’s Arsenal for Theatre of the Oppressed and Meyerhold’s Biomechanics include games in their actor-training systems that seek to achieve these aims which they felt would have a dramatic effect upon the world of theatre. Meyerhold was a Russian practitioner born in 1874, and is known for his development of Biomechanics, a contradictory theatre that revealed the unpredictable aspects of life through machine-like movements and clashing scenes. His theatre was a response to the lack of realism taught in teachers Stanslavski and Danchenko’s regimes which he believed was a mediocre attempt at reflecting daily life, belief that theatre should have more depth than repeating the everyday reality one experiences.
110 in the Shade; “a Hot Production” Trinity’s Department of Theatre Arts director, Mr. William Bradford, fabricated a colorful revival of 110 in the Shade. This homey musical buckled under the weight of the endless talent possessed by the actors in this production. The Trinity rendition of 110 in the Shade threatened to burst through the seams of this underwhelming show, with absolute overwhelming talent. This production consists of a simplistic story line, but was built upon by the superb cast involved in this exceptional production. Every cast member possessed a strong stature in the show.
At the end of investigation Mannion did perform the final speech very well, drawing the attention of the audience in to the most important line ‘We don't live alone. We are members of one body. We are responsible for each other. And I tell you that the time will soon come when, if men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish.’ Author Birling was played by Geoff Leesley. I think he played the best role of them all because he acted the very way I thought Mr Birling would act.
These aspects of their culture were vital to their identity. New styles of art showed up all over Greece due primarily to Athens’ influence. The theater was one area where Athenians were particularly superior. This was due in part to their famous festivals for the God, Dionysus, the most well-known being the Dionysia. Aeschylus was one dramatist who was revolutionary in these festivals; even to this day we utilize his works.
In An Inspector Calls, the central theme is responsibility. Priestley is interested in our personal responsibility for our own actions and our collective responsibility to society. The play explores the effect of class, age and sex on people's attitudes to responsibility, and shows how prejudice can prevent people from acting responsibly. Priestley believed in the idea of the Welfare state, where everyone was supported by each other. He was a supporter of socialism - his play promotes social responsibility and criticises the problems caused by the class divide.
