DMV Tyrant
I am going to write about the DMV Tyrant and more importantly and specifically I’m going to write about the character as it relates to theme. In the play I played the ‘Customer’ while Amber played the ‘DMV Lady’. I believe that my character the ‘customer’ relates to the theme in extraordinary ways and plays a key part in the play. There are only two characters in the entire one act play so both play a big role in the theme of the play. I believe the theme of the play or one of the bigger themes is the system of protocol that our society almost blindly relies on. The customer goes into the DMV just so he can get a new license, seemingly a pretty easy and simple task. But because of some protocol and because of the laziness of today’s society ‘the customer’ is unable to get what he wants. He it seems because his name is not in the system cannot be helped. Now because this is a Comedy there has to be such problems or there would be no plot. More specifically this is a Burlesque comedy so to a certain point the characters have to be a little stupid. Amber’s character should very easily be able to either call up her boss …show more content…
It starts off almost immediately in the play as when my character walks up and the ‘DMV Lady’ is busy reading a book and not even paying any attention that there is a customer waiting to be serviced. The second instance of this is when she refuses to help me out in any way when she could easily go to another co-worker or her boss. I ask to see her boss and she states that he is in the back shredding documents. There is also a laziness on my characters part as well. I should’ve checked my license as they ask you before it is official if there are any mistakes on it. He also should have applied for a new one before this one
