The director and the designers were able to collaborate well and produce a play that was very intriguing and fun to watch. The design for the costumes were very interesting but the set and lighting designers especially did a great job, with the way they were able to convey the messages of the play. The group of designers that worked together to make this play a reality were very careful with the way they designed their portion of products. I like how the designs supported the script very well. The play looked very organized and well planned out with way things were designed.
The performers portrayed their characters to perfection. I can’t imagine the difficulty of having to act, sing and dance, especially when the chorography was so fast & complicated. I really liked Officer Krupke and Doc: like two opposite kinds of adults: Krupke who distrusts & dislikes the kids (but is pretty funny), and Doc who is sympathetic. Of the gang kids I liked Riff the best: the actor was really good & I like that character. He reminds me a bit of my brother (which isn’t necessarily a good thing) Anita was great: she brought a touch of humour to the otherwise tragic story.
The play is an absolute must see. I was in love with it just because it's beautiful love story and I loved this movie for
The screenplay is corresponding to the real life but it is not boring. Moreover, the pieces of music in the movie played by the main actor were amazing. He played Norturne No.20 and Ballade No.1 very well. These sound expressed the pianist’s trust in humans, his love of life and peace. Every audience who listened to these songs may have the same feelings as he did.
The audience (a full house with less than 100 seats) became a part of the event, invited in to an intimate circle through the warm camaraderie of the actors. All the performers were really good at connecting with the audience, even in their vulnerability. Many of the classic elements of theatre were beautifully showcased - the acting, directing, and design were made transparent to the audience in a way that made me feel very much a part of the show. For example, DDD co-founder, playing the role of the Gentlemen King for this show, introduced the evening with a candid sense of humor and immediacy. The sense I got was that this is community directed theatre – people experimenting together, with various levels of rehearsal but consistently high levels of slap-stick humor.
Shakespeare on Trial represented “Romeo and Juliet” quite well. First of all, it incorporated many various scenes within the performance, such as the balcony scene or the death of Mercutio. Additionally, the dialogue was exactly the same in the performance as it was in the original Romeo and Juliet play. This definitely assisted in the understanding of the performance because the
Death of a Salesman Death of a Salesman is a great play, it draws strong attention of who sees or reads the play. This play is so great that, according with Jason Milligan, “[it] continue[s] to remain so timely…because [it] serve[s] a primal function of the theater: to hold a mirror up to our souls, to be the moral conscience of our times”. Death of a Salesman truly impacts people making them think and compare themselves or people they know with characters of the play, especially Willy Loman. The personalities that Miller portraits on his characters are as same of people that readers and viewers know on a day to day basis, which makes them open their eyes with a different image. Willy was a traveling salesman in his sixties that experiences an emotional crisis, Willy’s past repeats to him in vivid scenes and interferes with the present.
It’s easy for actors to stage pratfalls and speak profanity. What’s not so easy is creating a relationship between two individuals whose conflict meshes easily with the individuals in the audience. Seth Rogan and Barbra Streisand make a good team and you with both feel their pain and share in their moments of fun and laughter. Rogan was cast expertly to his strengths and it was great to see him as just a regular guy
They share the similar elements: they all have a clear and effective structure; they all have an extremely good leader; they all embrace the accountability to have things done and mutual respect; they all have an efficient communication system and they all have learned from the past and enjoy the new things. These implements are all important to a successful team. However, the most essential contribution to the team is the excellent leader. That is because the other implements are not born within the team, it is the excellent leader
What would a movie be without a flawless cast? Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays the main protagonist as Dom Cobb, puts on a perfect performance in Inception. The other cast members such as Ellen Page and Joseph Levitt play out their parts so well that it engulfs the viewer with the right amount of emphasis to believe their reality. I believe that the Inception crew was perfect because everyone’s acting was on point and they all work together to produce a fabulous cast. Another reason why Inception is the most interesting movie I’ve ever watched is because it allows the viewer to think about what is going to happen next.
