Discuss time period. What were men like at this time? Why was Macbeth written? The audience is first introduced to Macbeth when the witches discuss their future plans to ‘meet with Macbeth’. We are unaware of the witches plans regarding Macbeth but it is clear that they are planning to meet him to unleash evil in the play at that is what witches do.
The movie that I chose to watch is called Tootsie, starring Dustin Hoffman. I chose this movie for a couple reasons. It is a comedy, I remember going to the movie theater with my mom when I was little to watch this movie, and I thought there would be many good examples in this movie of interpersonal conflict. Michael Dorsey is an aspiring actor in New York City. His biggest strike against him is that he is too controlling and only sees rolls from his viewpoint.
The crowd was mostly full of older men and women. It was a very small play house but it put on a good show. The audience was a small group of people because the theater was not very big. The actors and actresses were older and mature which help to create a great play about the proof. This play is in the Genre of drama and mystery.
The play was stage in the end on arrangement which is the traditional audience seating layout where the audience is looking at the stage from the same direction. It’s good because the actors can make their entrance/exits/changes from the wings off-stage, therefore they won’t distract the audience. However, the audience seated further away will get less of the atmosphere of the action then the audience closer to the stage. The set was very simple with the use of a wall mirror, a chalk board and some plain flats – I think it looked like it could be a community centre. The colours used were quite dull and plain, but I think it was to draw the audience’s attention to the performers away from what might otherwise distract them.
Many pieces of movable set were introduced during the musical. They were all very good reflections of the characters in the scenes. For example in the Lyons dining room everything was very clean, posh and organized. The flat represented this by having expensive looking wallpaper on it and also the type of window shown in the flat would only be in the poshest of houses. Another good example of movable set is when they are on the bus.
When Juliet objected to Lord Capulet’s decision of marrying her to Paris, the nurse advised Juliet to do as her father said (Act III, scene v, lines 213-226). Juliet was already married to Romeo and refused to go against her wedding vows. Without the support from her nurse, Juliet goes to the Friar. He gives her a potion that allows Juliet to fake her death and live happily ever after with Romeo. The Friar and Juliet devise a plan, and the Friar sends a letter that informs Romeo of the plan.
At first when he signed on to do The King and I he was under the impression that “he only had to do (that) one ballet” (Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theatre, His Dance, pg 46) but he did end up choreographing many other dance sequences like “Getting to Know You” or “The March of the Siamese Children”. “Robbins planned the scene to delight both Anna and the audience. Some carry out their duties in exemplary fashion, which highlighted the different ones and the tiniest provide a high degree of adorable and some concern they’ll screw up” (Jerome Robbins: His Life, His Theatre, His Dance, pg
The Lunceford band was surprisingly a hit! He played in openings for bands and in places throughout New York. Although Sy still never got around to going to school, he loved playing music. Then Sy became an arranger to write the music for the bands and help get them gigs. He began helping people like Trummy Young, Ted Buckner and Willie Smith and with helping people like them; he created what people called the Sy Oliver style.
The house on stilts was the best creation of the play as it helped to show the theme on class so the upper class aka the Birlings in the raised house, then working class aka Edna and the inspector on the ground and then at the bottom on society and at the stage the young children listening to the play as it progressed. The background was painted to image the night in a busy industrial city (Burley). There was a phone box in the corner of the stage which was used when Mr Birling gets a phone call to explain the death of Eva/Daisy, I do not think that it is significant to put it there as it could be a prop inside the house. I pointed this out as it was one of the first things I noticed as the curtain rose and until that point of the play when it came of use; it puzzled me why it was
This happens all night and it's very annoying and hard to ignore. It is understandable that Cottingham is a dorm where students can have fun after class, but the noise level should be at a minimum after 10:00 pm. Students should respect others once the quiet period has begun. During the night, upstairs on the 3rd floor the students, which are freshman, are moving furniture all night and this makes it difficult to fall asleep. It also sounds like they are running down the hall throughout the night and slamming the door leading to the stairs loudly.
