My Favorite Character In The Play example essay topic

Spike Heels The play spike heels was written by Theresa Rebeck and directed by Deborah Mello. I viewed the play spike heels at the Miami Dade Community College Kendall campus auditorium. The play consisted of four characters; there were two males Andrew and Edward and two females Lydia and Georgie. The role of Andrew was performed by Arnaldo Carmouze and the role of Edward was played by Sheaun Mckinney.

The part of Georgie was beautifully played by Natalie Morales and Lydia witch was performed by Karina Hernandez. This play took place in a Boston apartment during present time. The play opened up in a much undefined manner doing a poor job in explaining the characters that were being spoken about. For instance when the play began the characters of Lydia and Andrew were being spoken about but the audience had no idea who they were, even though the character of Lydia was a bit better explained than Andrew they still left some gaps. Another issue that was exaggerated in an un realistic way were the curse words, I can understand that the character Georgie was supposed to be bad mouthed but not even the worst mouthed person wouldn't have repeated the "F" word so many times. My favorite character in the play was Georgie witch was performed by Natalie Morales.

This was my favorite because she performed her part more on point than any of the other characters while having the most lines. Another reason why she was my favorite of the characters in the play is because she played the role of Georgie with the most credibility. For example she was the street girl from Brooklyn, New York and she played her part like if she was an actual Brooklyn girl it looked like she wasn't even acting the other characters didn't look as natural as she did. The effortless credibility was not the only advantage that she had over the other characters; her body language was also something that it looked like she put most of her effort into but made it looked as if she was natural. The plot of the play was very well performed in the way that they got the point across quite well. There was only one factor that disturbed me about the plot of the play witch was that some issues were extended and made the play longer.

This story was seen in my eyes as a story about a Brooklyn girl that grew up her entire life using defense mechanisms such as alcohol and sex to compensate for her bad childhood and for her unsuccessful employment life. Another of the big issues in this play is that they were showing how uneducated women get sexually harassed almost everyday and ignore the issue because they think that the job that they have and the situation that there in cannot be replaced or they think that this is normal and it is nothing serious. Another issue in this play was how a man was in love with the woman that moved in upstairs but she wasn't to his standards so they try to subconsciously craft them into what they want them to be. This is seen a lot with men or women of high class with some one that is not as educated or as well mannered.

The spectacles of the play were very well done such as the lights and the costumes. The lighting was done with clear and light blue light covers to really show the space on the stage. The intensity of the lights were a little strong but then again I was sitting in the front of the audience and maybe the intensity was done for the people sitting away from the stage. During the play the actors were sweating as if they were in a sauna.

The costumes used in the play were very typical everyday clothing that well described each character. For example Andrew was the intellectual one of the four and so he was wearing the glasses and the long sleeve shirt, and Edgar was the wealthy one, the boss the lawyer so he was dressed up in the suit. As spike heel being the first live play I've ever seen and it was a very delightful experience.
