The farcical play, Boeing Boeing at the University of Arizona’s Marroney Theater delivered nonstop entertainment on September 22nd 2013. The play was written by Marc Camoletti and directed by Brent Gibbs, yet the success of the play was only possible through the collaborative effort of everyone involved. The major themes of Boeing Boeing were lust, honesty and chaos. Scenic designer, Taryn Wintersteen and the costume designer, Sandahl Masson effectively emphasized the themes of lust, loyalty and chaos by creating a compelling ambience on stage. The play took place exclusively in Bernard’s apartment living room.
Priestly starts presenting the Birlings by ordering some stage directions. Immediately we know Arthur Birling is a factory owner who was done well, when J.B. Priestly writes ‘belonging to a prosperous manufacturer.’ The reader can tell again he is well off when the writer says that the general effect should be heavily comfortable. He gives very precise stage directions, to go exactly the effect he wants. The fact it should not be cosy and homelike could almost help describe the atmosphere, and that the house is tasteless and not much effort has been put in to make it a home. The direction for the lighting to be ‘pink and intimate’ before the inspector arrives, then ‘bright and harsh’ when he is there helps the shift of tone, as each family member feels like a spotlight has been turned on them when he begins asking questions.
Holden admires Phoebe because she is the true, pure representation of childhood; in essence, she has all the qualities in a person that he admires. He appreciates her credibility, and her desire to be different to the rest of the world. When Holden is reading her notebook, he states that he could read it all day and all night long. What makes this notebook so appealing is its lack of pretension and falsity; Phoebe simply wrote exactly what she was thinking, and this is one of the reasons why he loves her so much. He also admires how she is a pure soul, untainted by the rest of the adult world.
One of the highlights and better factors of Cablive is the local amateur performers. This is an obvious strength as it widens south Australia’s talent pool, and introduces the audience to many of those with hidden abilities in song and music. Another strength is the intimate feel of the bar. This provides for a comfortable feeling all round, it is easy to sit back, relax and enjoy the show without worrying too much about finding a seat or other’s behaviour. The bar within La Boheme is easily accessible and those who work behind it are both talented and have a great attitude and passion for what they do.
A man walks into a bar. Ouch. A man walks into a rusty old bar. The second does not just include humor, but description as well. Although both Preston Sturges and Frank Capra use imagery and comedy to deliver messages in their respective movies, Capra’s ability to express his ideas in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington regarding perseverance conveys a much more poignant message, despite Sturges’ more recognizable views about smiling through the pain in his movie, Sullivan’s Travels.
It brought theatre to life for me. It allowed me to actually enjoy the art that much more. Sometimes theatre is portrayed as something it really isn’t. Whether it is feminine or gay, people hear that all the time. At a point in my life, I felt the same.
In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the women are intelligent, but submissive—often victims—powerless to protect themselves and "second class citizens." The only exception may be Caroline Frankenstein who dies before the monster is created. Caroline is Victor's mother. She alone shows the ability to stand up to the world. Victor recounts... Caroline Beaufort possessed a mind of an uncommon mould; and her courage rose to support her in her adversity.
Different, Yet so Alike In Marry Shelly’s novel Frankenstein she develops two different characters, Victor Frankenstein and the Creature also know as Dr. Frankenstein’s creation. Even though these two characters are not related nor do they look alike in any way, they have very distinct characteristics that make them so similar. Looking at just the surface it’s hard to see how it would be even possible to call them alike. However, after digging a little deeper it becomes easier to draw distinct parallels between the two characters. As these similarities connect them in a few ways the Creature begins to seem less like the actual monster.
I enjoyed the casting choices because the actors and scenery joined to convey a part of the movies theme. It discussed issues that were amenable. As stated in our text by Edward G. Robinson, “an audience identifies with the actors of flesh and blood and heartbeat, as no reader or beholder can identify with even the most artful paragraphs in books or the most inspiring paintings. There, says the watcher, but for some small difference in time or costume or inflections or gait, go I …. And so, the actor becomes a catalyst; he or she brings ignition that spark in every human being that longs for the miracle of transformation”.
He only realises this though when he observes the De Lacey family. The fact that Frankenstein had gone through all of the trouble of creating the Creature would have made the reader think that he knew what his duty of care towards it should be. There is a sense of responsibility that
