“Staying in character is really hard when you have blows being spewed in form of rhyming couplets,” Says Michael Bush, who plays Damis. “I think the audience is going to have a blast.” The Pine Ridge Players like to have as many people see their shows as possible, and with the financial crunch everybody is in these days, they try to keep their tickets affordable.

For example in Act 1, in the Prologue, the Chorus clearly tells the reader how Romeo and Juliet will die in the end. Another way he shows foreshadowing is by stating in Act 1, scene 4, that Romeo has a bad feeling about the party he is about to attend. Also in Act 1, scene 5, Romeo states how Juliet is the only purpose he lives and how he’ll do anything at his reach to be with her. In the end Shakespeare’s purpose for foreshadowing is to entertain the audience and expect them to be wanting more about the play. He wants the suspense to intrigue us and mainly to captivate out
Things are only made harder for her when Josh moves back to Oxbrook and they become romantically entangled. The themes that are present in this play are the decisions that the youth of today face when they have finished school, the pressures involved in living in a small town. The characters in this play also have to challenge the negative mindset that the ‘townies’ have towards those who are leaving Oxbrook. The filmed version of the play Snagged was performed at the Queensland Academy Creative Industries Theatre in Kelvin Grove in April of 2009. The director Robert Kronk was successful in his manipulation of the elements of drama and dramatic conventions associated with realism such as tension, roles and relationships, space, place and mood to create a strong sense of dramatic meaning with the audience.
When Romeo, extremely depressed about his situation with Rosaline, and his friends went to a dance at the Capulet house, Benvolio attempted to help Romeo get his mind off Rosaline and cheer him up when he promised to make him "think thy swan (Rosaline) a crow" (I, ii, 94). Because of this promise, Benvolio tried to keep Rosaline off Romeo's mind and keep Mercutio from reminding Romeo of her all night. Benvolio's character keeps the play balanced by representing the good that keeps the other characters

English Essay Aldo Curtis 10o ‘How Priestley makes act 3 dramatic’ Priestly uses many different methods to make act three dramatic. By saving the twist in the plot till this point, he made sure that it had the maximum effect. He also brought in some very meaningful and well thought out revolutions to the characters. Act three is also a very dramatic act because it is the conclusion, the winding up of all the plot lines, and as such it will contain the most emotion as the play comes to an end. At the beginning of act three the audience find out that Eric is the one responsible for the girls pregnancy and that he is the main culprit, ‘You know, don’t you?’ this is a example of the use of generalised questions which bring the audience even more into the play for it is like keeping a secret from all people who have not witnessed the first two acts.
AS Level Drama Supporting Notes Section 1 The chosen practitioners for our AS Level drama performance of ‘Stolen Secrets’ by Finn Kennedy is the Kneehigh Theatre Company. We read books about Kneehigh, watched video clips of their performances and discussed their methods. The key aspect of Kneehigh that inspired was their unique way of storytelling that is woven into each of their plays. Kneehigh has been called ‘the company that has put the soul back into storytelling’. Kneehigh use physical theatre and eccentric characterisations to add to the quirkiness of their storytelling which was appealing to our group as we wanted to push ourselves to find new strengths enabling us to create challenging, innovative, emotionally-charged work as Kneehigh
This change in Lewis is apparent when he describes the opera as being about “important things, like love and fidelity” and when he reacts genuinely hurt to when he discovers that his girlfriend Lucy has been having sex with Nick. Ultimately Lewis ends his relationship with Lucy because of their conflicting principles. In addition, Lewis also benefits from the production through his partnership with the mentally ill as he is able to understand what the “insane” people are really like. Before Lewis held very stereotypical views of the ill and feared that one of them might “forget to take their medication and go berserk.” Lewis’ stage directions were spoken with “hesitation” , showing a lack in confidence, but through the progression of “Cosi Fan Tutte” Lewis forms
He states, “Parents moved their kids out of the cities to these horrible suburbs to save them from the ‘reality’ of the cities and what they ended up with was this new breed of monster” (39). He later argues that these genres do just the opposite by promoting love and chastity by stating, “These songs aren’t about sex, they’re about two people who are very much in love… It ends badly for the lovers but it ends well for love” (34). He refers to the music simply as teen melodramas, and not promoters of suicide, sex, or rebellion. The reason he refers to them as teen melodramas is because most of the songs, if not all, merely tell a story that teens can relate to. Thomson ends the chapter stating, “Lest we forget, and we often do, teenagers tend not to be anywhere near as stupid as we think they might look”
Sheila defends herself from Eric with “Don’t be an ass, Eric” and further along Eric teases Shiela with a quote-“Steady the buffs”. This some how offends the mother with the language they use and tells them to mind what they say. This shows that their mother doesn’t let them joke around often and it’s a bit sad on them to as they like teasing each other. This might have caused a loss of bondage between the two. Further along, in act 3, Sheila and Eric’s bond became more and more stronger as they backed each other up from their parents when the Birlings thought that everything is fine and sorted out because the inspector wasn’t a real police officer.
