God of Carnage
This is my first play I ever been to, and I’m glad it was this one. I really enjoyed it and I even took my younger brother because he is into film and theatre and he found it very great play meanwhile I’m an art geek who does not know anything about theatre. The storyline was magnificent because I love that they show these tense arguments and reveal multiple layers of the each character meanwhile everyone was pressing each other their mixed emotions the audience can get dark pleasure in watching them doing so and keeping us more interested in seeing more of each character dark sides even though there trying to convey their discreet intentions. Even though they are adults

Veronica at first seems like the most compassionate person of all the group and trying to fix the problem of her son’s injury caused by the child of Alan and Annette and trying to convey them that they should do something to their son’s actions. Towards end of the play she makes a statement that Alan and Annette are horrible parents and people, period. The actress really did a great job portraying it her voice made it perfect and rest of the play she tries and tries to keep her good manners in under control. Meanwhile her husband Michael in the very beginning tries to create peace with the boys and the Raleigh’s but as the story progresses he makes racial slurs, saying that raising children is just something that wastes time and a horrible experience, and don’t forget he let a pet hamster into the street! He was very interesting character and the actor was absolutely my favorite he just made it more intriguing with his facial expressions and his personality as well. Annette was the most physically destructive of all and she had the same beliefs as Veronica and that communication can fix the problem of the two boys but her lack of confidence by her husband not caring about her affected her being a mother. The actress who played as Annette had a very great voice and for myself I like anyone who had a voice that fits the character and it totally did. Alan had a very stereotypical type in the group like he was those untruthful people who you did not want to be with and with his annoying cellphone completed his character, but he was the most philosophical one even though he was kind of a sexist with his

    I chose to attend the play called "Present Laughter" on Friday, March 2nd, at Fort Hays State University. It was a very well put on play and the actors did an phenomenal job. All the actors were very professional and seemed to be very well prepared. They also did a good job on the set by making the play seem very realistic to all the audience members that attended the play. I wasn't that excited at first to go to this play because I have never been to a play in person…

    I enjoyed the play because the story and music is very interesting, unique and entertaining. I have seen the play before in Las Vegas and I must say that the cast in Las Vegas was much better than the one I saw on Thursday night. The reason is because it went more in-depth with the story and also played every single hit that the band had made. Also, the singers in Las Vegas were much more professional and sounded better because the actor portraying Frankie Valli did not have such a high pitched voice as the one in Curran Theatre. My favorite composition from the band was Beggin because the tempo and beat was so fast-paced and it was impressive how the band had bright stage lights and fascinating dance moves. The music contained catchy rhythms and beats. Some notes would stretch out to make a nice vocal sound and some were just quick beats from the drums. The staging was very flashy because they had different stage lights with different colors for each part of the story. The costumes were very well suited. They actors wore fancy suits and some had a fancy top hot to match their costume. I thought the the whole play went fairly well and the audience seemed to really enjoy it. The music was pleasant and relaxing, the actors were spot on with no mistakes during the show and the crowd was very enthusiastic. The only part I had a slight…

    All the elements in the show went perfectly with the actors, the sets, and the lighting. The whole stage was used and the performers moved around throughout the entire stage. The pace of the production seemed to be right. I thought it might have dragged out a little but picked up in the secound act.…

    They play was quite an interesting play with its use of comedy and tragedy. The actors did a terrific job on portraying the characters. The set was small so it was much easier to see their reactions. The introduction to the play was pretty unique with those people in tight pants and glitter all over everybody in the lobby. They never broke character no matter what went on in the lobby. Later they used as prompts on stage which was pretty interesting because at times I was so into the play I forgot they were there acting as a car or a door.…

    The setting was good and I have to admit the actors were outstanding! Every character was extremely well played with a good batch of confidence. Made me feel like they really had been through all of it. Gregory Burke has made an informative, entertaining and provoking play not to forget. Al parts in equal measure. Fantastic. Above all, the scene I enjoyed the most, was the one where Cammy practically gets changed. The viewer gets taken in the hand and brought through a whole lot of previous wars. That was truthfully amazing scenery work.…

    When taking the time to examine the characters of Annette Reille, from the play, and Nancy Cowan, from Carnage, it is easy to find their likenesses, but there are also some noticeable differences. One of the main reasons for all of these differences is merely different interpretations of the character by different readers. For example, the tone in which certain lines are said or in the way a certain action is portrayed can change the whole personality of a character. When reading, the reader portrays each of the characters as he/ she believes them to be, but then another reader could have a difference of opinion and change the whole attitude; this was the case if you consider the readers to be myself and Kate Winslet. Although Annette often appears to be conciliatory, her counterpart Nancy seems more invested in ending in the conflict.…

    Seminar Play Analysis

    On November 20th I went to the Black Box theatre to see the play Seminar. It was a small production, and there were only five actors. Going into the play, I had no idea what to expect. I had heard the play was a bit raunchy, with explicit dialogue and provocative scenes. The play started out with four actors portraying college graduate writers. I loved how realistic the setting was; it really looked like somebody’s real apartment. The actors did very well portraying emotion, and every thing they did and said I could relate to. At one point, a girl was eating real ice cream and complaining on the couch to her friend. I thought it was funny how every girl could relate to that scene. I also liked that the actor had no problem devouring ice cream on top of memorizing her lines and acting at the same time. I would find it hard not to focus on anything other than the delicious taste of the ice cream.…

    This play did not provide a visual for less creative minds like myself. There was so much talking, storytelling, and current conversations, that I found myself lost through a couple of scenes such as the one where the random Vietnam boy shows up then gets eaten by some cannibalism. Good thing for Denny’s (Aaron Roman Weiner) aggressive voice which always brought my attention back to the play. What’s not to love about Denny? He is an alcoholic racist Italian who takes the law into his own hands leaving his kindergarten best friend, Joey (Kyle Fabel), to cover for him.…

    “Full of sound and fury-” an encapsulating description of Justin Kurzel’s new rendition of the classic Shakespearean tragedy. Macbeth tells the tale of a Scottish lord who encounters a trio of soothsaying witches in the aftermath of a grand battle. And the battle is oh so grand a spectacle. The camera pauses several times as the armies charge one another, not for the sake of the action, but so the audience can appreciate the horrific beauty of combat.…

    Former US President George Washington stated, “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” President Washington believed that without the privilege of freedom of speech or expression, as a nation are vulnerable to captivity thus would be letting foreign countries the chance to govern because of the lack of credential leadership. Given the situation in which western military have somewhat a democratic form of government, citizens were entitled to speak their minds. When faced with an enemy of greater strength and smarter tactical strategies it gives westerners a better defensive standing because of the deliberating and inputs from a number of leaders. Raised as a child on the small tropical island of Pohnpei in the Pacific ocean, one of the primary lessons that my parents constantly reminded me of was the fact that there were rules and if I were to live under their roof or shelter, their rules had to be followed. Abiding by the island’s way of culture, whenever I violated a rule, my parents made sure that I knew what I did wrong. This would include being chased around with a belt or stick as a punishment. My siblings and I always felt like we had the freedom we needed, not what we wanted. Our freedom was limited. This is not as frightening as a military discipline but the same concept applies. If you do not follow and comply to what is commanded of you, you will be dealt with harshly, especially in military settings.…
