Neil Simon's Fools: Summary
"Fools" By Neil Simon's
I went and saw the play "Fools" by Neil Simon's. Here is a summary of the play that I went and watched and enjoyed. The play is set a long time ago in the Russian village. The current people are living under a 200 year-old curse that has rendered generations of townsfolk stupid. Or so they seem to think. They are aware enough to know they’re stupid so just how dumb can they be? And, they know enough to realize that the curse can be broken and they know enough to look forward to the day when the fog lifts and they can finally be as smart as the rest of the world. Leon Tolchinsky in search of the Zubritsky family who advertised for someone to educate their daughter, Sophia. At first, Leon seems overwhelmed by the task , especially when he learns that the curse extends to anyone who stays in town longer than 24 hours. The clock starts ticking as Leon realizes he is developing feelings for Sophia and he is committed to saving her by breaking the curse without falling victim to it himself and winning the hand of his lady-love. The complication is that the curse can only be broken if Sophia marries the evil Count Gregor and so far she’s been smart enough to his advances. But as with all good curses, there has to be a loophole and it is that which Leon goes in search. Overall naturally Leon falls for Sophia and everything goes back to normal. No one is still cursed by the "stupid". Basically, that is what the play is about. I truthfully loved the play. It was humorous, sarcastic, spunky, and just all around a good play to watch and to also have something to lighten your self up to. It was a very good way to have a lot of laughter. I would recommend it to

    A short play is usually filled with a theatrical energy of diverse anthologies. The time allotted may be only ten or fifteen minutes, so it must be able to capture and engage the audience with some dramatic tension, exciting action, or witty humor. Just as in a short story, a great deal of the explanation and background is left for the reader or viewer to discover on their own. Because all the details are not explicitly stated, each viewer interprets the action in their own way and each experience is unique from someone else viewing the same play. Conflict is the main aspect that drives any work of literature, and plays usually consist of some form of conflict. In “Playwriting 101: The Rooftop Lesson,” Rich Orloff explores these common elements of plays and creates an original by “gathering all clichés into one story and satirizing them” (Orloff as cited by Meyer, 2009, p. 1352).…

    The piece was extremely clever how they only used four actors during the entire show. This brings me onto costumes. The costumes in this production were very bare and essential for quick changes while on stage, and this gave the play a comic feel because they changed on the stage in front of the audience. Many times the costume was a plain suit and the actors played different characters by simplistically putting so a hat, coat or a prop. I enjoyed this because it helped me associate different characters with the little bit of costume they had.…

    Television is the predominant media-metaphor of this generation. Television shapes the way people think, act, and communicate; however, this powerful apparatus does not always disclose the whole truth. In fact, television often hides the whole truth from the public, but, ironically, most people love the media and blindly believe what the media says. As Alford Huxley says, people will “adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.” Unfortunately, Huxley’s hypothesis is slowly becoming a reality. In Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves To Death,” Postman argues that the many facets of television people love will actually ruin them. Of these many facets of television, three are predominant. Television is ruining people’s lifestyles…

    Of the many live performances I have been able to see, by far my favorite is Wicked. I have always been drawn to plays that are fantasy-based versus those that focus on realism. Wicked is a complete fun-ride of fantasy from beginning to end. From it's variety of outrageous characters to it's musical score, each aspect of drama is clear and defined in this play. Theme, music, and spectacle will be the focus in this essay, but that is not to say each aspect does not have a role in the show. Wicked presents the aspects of drama in a way that an audience remembers.…

    By the end of the play, the characters fall in love with their respective partners, thus the play ends in harmony. This can mean that the Shakespearean comedy celebrates life as it demonstrates the hardships that the characters faced and how they overcame them. This shows the audience that they can also overcome the situations that they are facing as the audience could relate to the characters. This provided the audience with reassurance and a motive to remain positive, they know that their problems will be solved eventually. The comedy in this sense is celebrating life’s pain, harmony and ability to overcome.…

    To understand the Fool in this story we need to know what a fool is. "Fool: also called jester, a comic entertainer whose madness or imbecility, real or pretended, made him a source of amusement and gave him license to abuse and poke fun at even the most exalted of his patrons." (Encyclopedia Brittanica, 1995 ed.) Although the fool is a funny entertainer, he tells the hard truth. He is “allowed” to tell the cold, hard truth about someone or something. This is only allowed for him, it would be inappropriate for someone else to point out hardships. The way they would do this is through a parable, riddle, or a story. Where he can act funny, crazy, weird, and outrageous, but underneath, he is giving us an underlining meaning about a certain issue or hard truth. With saying all of that, the fool was a crucial part of that time period and make critical changes in society.…

    The fine line between wisdom and foolery has often been explored and blurred in dramatic comedies throughout the ages. Often, in Shakespeare’s plays especially, the fool figure turns out to be the wisest figure out of all of the other characters, and is used as a way to make a comment on the social context of the time. This theme is present in ‘The History Boys’, as Bennett mostly uses characters as a way of exploring the fine line. He also uses scenes and themes during the play to explore the fine line between wisdom and foolishness, but he tends to focus on using the characters to explore the line instead.…

    Middletown: Play Review

    • 905 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The play was very unique and different from any other play I have ever seen. It was very melodramatic and the characters discussed issues most characters in other plays would never touch. They spoke very truthfully to each other about issues such as anxiety, loneliness and other things that most people keep to themselves. They often mentioned all the mundane tasks they would do throughout the years to keep themselves occupied. They explained the daily miracles that everyone in the world takes for granted. At one point in the storyline, an astronaut who lived in Middletown, told a story about the town drunk and how he found what he thought was a meteor but, it was just a common sedimentary rock. He then explained how the man was very disappointed that it was not a meteor, yet that he should have been grateful for the wonders of such a perfect world able to create something. Not only was the plot of the play very unique and creative, the way the play was set up was interesting and new to me. Every play or musical I have ever been to, you sit in an auditorium and just watch the events unfold. This play had you apart of the plot and stage, the actors would interact with the audience and and speak directly to us. They kept the actors in the set very close to the audience, almost as if they were trying to make us even more uncomfortable with the closeness of the actors in the story. The…

    I went to watch Blithe Spirit on October 15 at 2:00. I was pretty surprised that I enjoyed the play a lot because in the beginning, I thought it was going to be one of those cliche love stories instead of a genuine comedy. I thought the characters performed exceptionally and were nearly flawless in their performance. After watching the play and really thinking about it, I feel like the play’s underlying meaning is how greed has no boundaries. The play’s plot and characters reinforce this idea by employing many things throughout the play.…

    It is a very sweet and beautiful play filled with plenty of music and dancing. It is also extremely hard to act out because of all the characters and the way it is suppose to be performed. This type of play was composed to be a comedy but at times it seems to almost resemble a tragedy.…

    I find it funny that Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams is the last play we viewed in class because it sums up each and every play I have seen in this English 100 and Drama 235 class. All four plays tie-in with Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for it talks about: Lies (Oedipus Rex), jealousy (Othello), sexuality or gender roles (A Doll’s House) and the American Dream or greed (Death of a Salesman).…

    As one of North America's leading playwrights, Neil Simon has definitely been instrumental to the world of theater. He has experienced a somewhat shaky personal life, but he has found that this only adds to the texture of his work. He began his career working on radio and television, and found that writing for stage was significantly different than his previous experiences writing. His first attempts at theater were rough, but it didn't take him long to achieve excellence. He has also achieved great success with his work in the film industry.

    The Odd Couple by Neil Simon is one of the most classic comedic plays in history. It is one of Simon’s most famous plays, and arguably one of his best works. The main characters, Felix Unger and Oscar Madison, are complete opposites who come to live together under one roof and are forced to point out each other’s flaws. This opposite nature of the two characters causes complete chaos, creating comedic genius leaving the audience laughing at almost every line. In the play, the idea of marriage is completely satirized, where Felix is seen as the stereotypical cleanly wife, and Oscar is seen as the untidy husband. Because of Simon’s authentic yet comedic development of both characters, gender role norms are completely mocked, and the line between heterosexuality and homosexuality is questionably crossed.…
