The girls start shouting “I saw Goody Bibber with the devil” and “ I saw Goody Booth with the devil”, this use of short snappy accusations one after another makes the whole scene dramatic and adds to the suspense being created. The words “I saw” almost become like a barrel of bullets being fired into the ears of the audience making them feel the madness going on. The stage directions say the the “curtains fall” as the girls continue making the accusations, this shows that the situations going to continue on into the rest of the play In act 2, Elizabeth gets arrested and we the audience are able to feel the madness going on because we know that such a devout Christian woman such as Elizabeth could not possibly be involved in witchcraft. We know that this due to Abigail’s plan to try and get Elizabeth arrested. We are able to feel the madness even more through Proctor shouting “Herrick!
When the play is at its end and you look back to the start you can clearly see changes that have occurred in Lewis’ personality over the time of him working in the theatre. Within the play there are plenty of obstacles but with the help of Lewis’ patients and his growing changes in confidence all is overcome. The first change you notice with Lewis is his confidence, to start with he doesn’t know how to treat the patients or go about things. Roy one of the patients is the one to get the ball rolling with ideas on how to do the play and to getting the patients enthusiastic about it all. Lewis realises it’s not that hard to do and needs to be doing the instructing and directing of the play with influence and input from Roy and the patients not the other way round.
Max just became more of a dick, and the challenges in Susan and Andrews relationship added a lot of craziness to the show. It went from easy to manage and funny to very deep and stressful just after intermission. I feel like the second act could have had more humor to it, and that would have helped with the craziness of the second
They are the center of attention. The people gather around. Some are watching, some are taunting , and others provoke both Mercutio and Tybalt, trying to fuel their anger . Oblivious that they are in the ‘public haunt of men’, they don’t stop fighting. In my opinion, Shakespeare included this fight scene as an entertainment for the audience.
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.
William Shakespeare and Reginald Rose both use dramatic techniques to make the audience question the world they live in. They achieve this with how they change things like setting and tone which can be a massive eye opener to viewers (about the world we live in today) as the two plays reveal things like racism, justice and sexism. Both plays challenge audiences views on racism. Racism is a key part in both plays showing different societies and peoples (as individuals) views about other race, background and religion. Viewers watching this can see this seemingly made obvious feature of the play may then be able to see something similar happening in real life or relate to it.
The murder scene was the major turning point in the play and the lighting certainly enhanced the scene as a whole. The murder occurred behind thick plastic sheets that were hanging from the ceiling. These were lit from behind with a bright white spotlight. This caused the audience to see the shadows of what was happening without showing them any real violence. This choice of lighting helped create the look of a visual conscience, as the sheets started off pure white and as Raskolnikov stepped behind them there was a black shadow of him as if his own conscience was being darkened because of the crime he was committing.
She uses onomatopoeia many times during the text to describe the “Rat-tat-tat-tat” sound that the gunfire made to make the reader better imagine what it was like to be there at that time. It also helps shift the audience toward her side of the coin so to speak, in that it creates a harsh reality of fear for the reader which is unexpected from such a small sound. Chang also uses climax in her writing during the chapters so that at the middle of every chapter the reader feels that they reached the worst of the violence and tragedy and it also hooks them into wanting to read more to find out what the next big thing is that will happen in the next chapter. Chang uses hypophora in the beginning of the text to inform the reader of what kind of things they will be educated on regarding the Rape of Nanking. This is shown to its full extent on page nineteen when she lists many of the questions first time readers might have about the
The problems that the characters in this production encounter are the same problems a lot of people face in everyday life. The production will be told using a very realistic approach allowing the audience to use their own personal experience to connect with the actors on stage. A woman who’s husband cheated on her in the past will be able to feel Helen’s heartbreak. In order to tell this story in live theater there would have to be some changes made. In the original production there are many different scenes in which the production takes place.
The actions of people pursuing their goals eventually show true intentions. In Arthur Miller’s play, The Crucible, Miller analyzes the characters of John Proctor and Reverend Parris by how they attempt to influence the outcome of the trials through their internal conflicts, behaviors, and decisions. To begin, Miller portrays John Proctor as one of the most important that attempt to influence the outcome of the trials. To prove, towards the end of the play, Proctor faces his internal conflict in order to proceed to do what is right. For example, when Proctor signs the papers, “His breast heaving, his eyes staring, Proctor tears the paper and crumples it, and he is weeping in fury, but erect” (208).
