play review

In the play this weekend at the blackbox the play had many different components. The overall set up for the staging started off in the living room type of setting with two chairs table, mirror, and rug (those were the stage set pieces). Some of the props that were used on stage were different types of foods and teacups. (Like cucumber sandwiches, muffins, cake etc.) At one point earnest had a passport holder or in other words a wallet. For the second half of the play the staging changed it went from being all left stage to all right stage. Also during the second half the play the set pieces also changed. There was a wall the separated right stage from left stage and there was a dining table with chairs around it. Also there was a bench that was placed center stage. You can tell from the beginning of the play that it was supposed to be a comedy because of the language of the actors and actresses. There was a lot of sarcasm that was used in facial expressions that gave off more of a relaxing and humerus feel. For example the way that some characters had ate their food, they would exaggerate and chew In a over-the-top way. It was a little hard to follow through out the play but it was understood that the two women characters were in love with a man name Ernest who’s name really wasn't earnest but then at the end of the play they found out through birth certificates that Johns name really was earnest. there were about six characters in he play so they all had a big role. a lot of the dialogue was between two characters at a time, every character wasn't on the stage at the same time. the costumes that were worn was more old syled traditional cothing like silk robe,suit, blouse and skirt, traditional dress, old women dress.

This is just to say

The words that stick out to me with the sound are words like plums, icebox, delicious, sweet, and cold. I think mainly because they are feeling words and the writer probably wanted he reader to feel the words. Also in the beginning the first stanza of the poem when the writer says the plums that were in the icebox had stuck out to me because of the T sounds that I got from the poem. Also the last stanza when the writer says so sweet and so cold. The so was repeated twice to emphasize the amount of sweetness and coldness. Also the s sounds. The meaning of the poem is that whomever has eaten the plums did because of temptation and the writer is trying to have he reader feel that temptation. They didn’t really want to eat them I’m assuming but get were really hungry and they want whomever those plums were to understand the reasoning behind it. They also want to be forgiven for what they did. Some images that come to my head is like a cooler of some sort with plums in there. Only he plum...

Play review: The romeo and juliet play at the park was very interesting. We were all laid out comfortably on blankets on the grass. The play started at 8:00. It was the original shakespeare play but with a twist. It started off with the scene in the village, and then went into a scene with juliet and her mother . In between the scenes they played more modern day music which i thought was entertaining because it gave the play more of a modern feel. During the play there was singing a little through out but it was mostly a straight play. The costumes that the characters in the play wore were accurate to the time period of romeo and juliet. There was a scene in the play where they foreshadowed the death of juliet when she wore a white robe that both tybalt and mercutio wore when they died. Because the play was a romance tragedy, there were two or three scenes where romeo and juliet kissed. In the play they danced a lot as well, but to keep the play a little modern the actors were danci...
