The play “Bacchae” was written by Euripides and first published in 1896‚ it was later translated by Henry Hart Milman in 1997. The play “Equus” was written by Peter Shaffer in 1973. The Bacchae is about a god who is struggling to be recognized as a god. However‚ Equus is about a boy who is struggling to find god. Both plays show how religion can change people by modifying their beliefs. Euripides and Shaffer both draw their ideas from ancient traditions through the element of religion by rituals

Jamaica Review You walk into a small‚ dark auditorium called “Theater B” in the Aaron Davis Hall at the City College of New York. There is no division of the area of what is assumed to be the stage and the beginning of the audience‚ except for a large black wall with a screen projected onto it. As you wait for the production to start‚ the only thing that appears on the wall is a quote: “Oh innocent victims of cupid‚ remember this little verse‚ to let a fool kiss you is stupid‚ to let a kiss fool

Shrek The Musical last week (under the direction of Nicole Smith)‚ an adaptation of DreamWorks Shrek the children’s cartoon movie. The actors weren’t really given a very good stage to perform on as well as a good backstage. The cast and crew of Shrek the musical did a good job of using of what they had. For such a small stage and a small school the production wasn’t bad as a whole. The set did a sufficient job at letting us know where we’re at and what’s going on with the scene. The lead actors of

In Shakespeare’s play “ Macbeth”‚ the two characters who are most captivating without a doubt are Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Since the first moment we are introduced to them‚ they captured our attention with their unusual personalities and roles in their relationship.

However‚ Lady Macbeth often seems to resemble a puppet master with the way she
