Brook's Version Of Hamlet
1,573 wordsPeter Brook: Why and How In modern theater today, the director is ultimately responsible for the artistic effectiveness of the production.

Poor Production Decision For The Brlt
459 wordsAaron A. Aubrey English 2029-12 Mr. Decker 14 Nov 1999 "I Remember Mama" The recent production of "I Remember Mama" by The Baton Rouge Little Theatre left much to be desired in my mind. The real flaw in this unsuccessful production wasn't so much the occasional annoyances and quirks by the cast and director, it was the play itself. I felt that the local talent of The Baton Rouge Little Theatre was wasted on such a droll work. I found it difficult to stay focused on the play and instead found mys...

Most Ill Starred Plays In Theatrical History
642 words"The Comedy of Glam is", "The Scottish Business" or simply "That Play" are just a few of the euphemisms actors use to avoid mentioning the title of William Shakespeare's Macbeth, one of the most ill-starred plays in theatrical history.

If an actor does happen to mention the name, or quotes from the play while he is backstage,...

Viewers Of A Play
442 wordsQuIP # 1 Questions- Q- In the styles of live performing or television performing which style would be more suited for an average viewer. A- I believe that television as a way of mass producing entertainment has made it more of a low rate form of entertainment than live performances, however when using mass media one can broadcast a show to millions of viewers at one time. This surely proves that in our society that live performances are very rare but well remembered unlike all the ridiculous T.V...

Comedic Performance Throughout The Entire Play
1,518 words"In Walks Ed" was the first play I ever attended and it was most enjoyable. I had no idea what to expect from the start. One of the things that first stood out at the theatre was the fact that all the employees were dressed in all black. When I enquired, I found out that they all dress in black so as not to distract the patrons from the entire performance. I was most impressed with the entire feel of the Ensemble Theatre, from the calmness and quietness of the entire area, to its interior design...

Original Theater
426 wordsThere is a lot of talk about the great Shakespearean plays, but not many people know of where they were actually performed in his time. Where were they performed? Most of his plays were shown at the Globe Theatre. However, the construction of this theater was not without great toil. In fact, the original theater is no longer standing.

Feel Of Ancient Greek Plays
1,372 wordsWhile from reading Arnott I got the impression that the way Greek theatre was performed was very effective in the past, I would make many changes to the performance if I were the director of the play. The main thing that I did not like was that there were only three actors on the stage, playing all the characters in the play (not including the chorus). I think this is an interesting way to perform a play, but in the present day I do not think that people would appreciate so few actors. People ha...

Best Performance In The Play
686 words'The Glass Menagerie' is a relatively long play (1 hour 50 minutes) by Tennessee Williams, based around a recollection of events in a man's family life.

As there were only four performers in this play, you got to see each character frequently, which allowed a bond to be formed between yourself and the characters. Tom Wingfield, played by Nathan O'Ke...

The play, although no...
