transatlantic slave trade influenced all the aspects of the white Americans and African Americans’ life in the 18th century because it became the significant social and economic phenomenon in the history of the country (Dramaturgy Packet 2015‚ 17-18). In her play The Liquid Plain‚ Naomi Wallace discussed the idea of the transatlantic slave trade from the personal perspective of several characters in a vivid metaphorical language (Wallace 2013‚ 54).

The scene where I would place this play would be at the Paint Creek Gold Mine in Cabin Creek‚ West Virginia. One of the main characters sings a song called “Gold for Fools” in the opening scene‚ so I decided to set the play in a gold mine to make the characters singing and emotion more relatable to the audience. It would take place during the late 1800’s because this was a major gold mining time in US history. The stage would have a large rockwall in the background to simulate the feel of being

Ives’ Sure Thing drama is an interesting play which has different way to entertain the readers. I have never read a play which is a little bit confusing at the first time I read it. Seems its every scene is separated by ring bell. However‚ by reading it more‚ I could sense comedy and fantasy combined at once. In the following paragraphs‚ you will see how some characters shaped based on the play. The first one is “educated”. Both of the characters in this play were educated. It could be proved in this

Invitation to Theatre - EP 1 Tony Menses Force Continuum Reflection Before the play itself started‚ I was able to catch a glimpse of what subject it covered. In the front row‚ there was a single seat with a piece of paper over it‚ dedicating the seat to the millions of black people who have gone “missing”. Staring at the spotlight directed on the seat‚ I subtly sat one seat away‚ not wanting to be caught in the bright light. The uncomfortableness I felt was only increased as the night

weekend of October 2017‚ Grinnell College Theatre Department presented Nice Fish at Roberts Theatre in Bucksbaum Center. The play was originally written by Mark Rylance and Louis Jenkins‚ and was directed by Professor Ellen Mease in Grinnell College.
