Social Identities In The Play Rumours By Neil Simon
In the play “Rumours”written by the mastermind playwright Neil Simon, he has effectively brought out several themes throughout the play. Such themes include materialism, the importance of social identities, as well as how most affluent people are alike. I'm the cutest

The theme of materialism is first brought out in the first Act and comments “It's all over the room. I don't know why people decorate in white…’Ken Bevans who is the protagonist of the play does not seem to take notice of the issue at hand and instead comments about the blood all over the walls. This shows that most high profile people believe that image is everything and therefore as a director in order to perform this for maximum effect, I would suggest the person playing …show more content…
This would show that Chris at that point was having to battle through her emotions with what was currently happening. Chris Bevans actions are similar to Cassie Coopers actions as she finds comfort with her six inch long quartz crystal as she takes it out when her husband, Glenn Cooper and herself end up in a little fight and begins to rub the crystal around her neck, face and arms. For maximum effect, as a director I'd have the person playing the role of Cassie Cooper to remove the crystal out of the bag in a rushed manner this would help in representing that people in the highest socioeconomic status level find some form of escape from their troubles and the characters Cassie and Chris help to prove

    Drama Essay

    Black Comedy, as defined within both an Aristotelian-cathartic model and through a Freudian psychological perspective, aims to allow its audience to bypass the mind’s censor and to allow release of otherwise socially impermissible emotions on issues that are of a dark or macabre nature. It is a form of theatre that transforms illicit and taboo subject matter into an acrid, yet humorous performance piece, thus challenging and confronting an audience and also making them laugh. Martin McDonagh’s The Lieutenant of Inishmore is hysterically funny and deeply tragic at once, serving as a satirical dissection of terrorism, albeit through dark and shocking theatrical means. In addition, Neil LaBute’s The Shape of things is not overtly comic but rather the idea of an art major shaping a person as an object is an absurd one, confronting the audience through the humiliation and subsequent suffering of the protagonist. The plays studied deal with a paradox; how can the subject of death, violence to humans or animals, sexual perversion, social dysfunction and sexual dysfunction possibly be comic? Black Comedy deals with “what is often uncomfortable or supressed,” and the subsequent release of that suppressed material is what gives rise to laughter.…

    Aesthetics In Citizen Kane

    In the beginning of the movie, when we are learning first about Charles Kane, it shows him dressed to the hilt in a very nice suit. This gave the audience the impression that he was a very powerful and important person. It also showed that he was a very wealthy person. The movie also used a wardrobe choice to express in a scene that the characters were hardworking individuals without saying so. When they first start working at the newspaper company, it shows the characters all with their shirt collars unbuttoned and bowties untied. This detail made me understand that these men had been hard at work and had been tired of working a long day. This choice in their attire helped me perceive something extra in the scene besides just seeing that they were at the office. This was a relevant detail that I retained in the scene that helped me understand what was going on in the film…

    How Does Harold Crick Change Throughout The Novel

    From the sound, lighting, camera placement etc. One example of this is the lighting throughout the film, you can see it is very bland, very black and white, to reflect Harold’s lifestyle. Another use of lighting in the film is when the light on his wrist is flared are brightened to show the significance of the watch to him and the story. Many of the shots in the movie are simple and still, especially towards Harold to show the simplicity of his life. The colors in the film also have a big reflection on the character’s attitude and emotions. For example the color’s in Harold’s house and work are very dull and stale to reflect his emotions and his basic personality. Another example is the bakery, which is much more colorful to show the baker’s aggressive personality. Another example is the colors in Dale’s home, they are very bright and energetic to show that the changing character and emotion of Harold. Music also shows the setting of the characters, with the music throughout…

    ‘Theatre Should Be About the Way We Live Now, Not the Way We Used to Live’. Discuss This Statement, in the Light of the Production You Have Seen, to Show Your Understanding of How You Think the Impact of the Play Has

    The performance we saw of Romeo and Juliet directed by Rob Salmon was designed to appeal to a contemporary audience; attempting to show characters that one would expect to see in the local area, a key example of this could be costume worn by Lady Capulet. Throughout the performance Lady Capulet was wearing clothes which could be considered some what provocative, with a very bold leopard print, a statement in society that is often considered to be ‘wild’ and suggestive of being sexually available. This is a major contrast to what an audience would have seen women wearing in the era of the original performance, women were very controlled by society’s standards and revealing merely an ankle would be seen as scandalous. This is clearly an example of theatre moving forward to portray life as it is now in order to connect with the audience rather than looking to the past. The benefit of choosing to alter the characters to fit our local area in my opinion was that it made the performance more accessible and relatable to the audience, which is always something directors and actors should aim to achieve with a performance.…

    Boy Girl Wall Play Analysis

    The Escapists, in their interpretation of the play ‘Boy, Girl, Wall’ create dramatic meaning for the audience by making them rethink traditional theatre and use their imagination. Instead of being given the setting, the characters’ faces, and the atmosphere, this play is like a book, where one must imagine each scene in their head as it develops, aided by chalk drawings on the walls and the floor. The Escapists estranges this performance from traditional theatre, causing the audience to envision something different by inspiring them to view the story in their head for themselves. The Escapists capture this exquisitely through the elements they have chosen: the use of a one-person performance, the space and sound effects.…

    Materialism: Jesus and Rodeo

    In the oxford English dictionary materialism is described as a tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values. This theory is far more than a simple focus on material possessions. It states that everything in the universe is matter, without any true spiritual or intellectual existence. We live in a world surrounded by and composed of matter. It is natural; therefore, that we may become distracted from spiritual or intellectual pursuits by material possessions, but this is frequently where problems occur. We can become obsessed by a desire to obtain them, or simply frustrated by the need to maintain them. In a short play called Rodeo written by Jane Martin, a young girl name Lurlene, becomes unsuitable for the rodeo because she doesn’t dress like a showgirl and wear material clothes (Martin 9). In an essay called Super-Size It written by Lisa Colletti, consumer commodity and must need material possessions are major concerns in the daily lives of Americans. Money is a valuable thing and wasting it on unnecessary items is a sin.…

    Drama Women in Black Review

    The play started in the theatre depicted on the stage and almost immediately the humour as Mr Kipps’s is reading his memoirs and you don’t think it is going to be horror at all and I think this could be done to lulled the audience into a false sense of security which made shocks later in the play a lot more effective. The most important element of the play I feel was the lighting the spotlights was used to great effect and to draw attention to their facial expressions. Also it allowed the gauze to be rendered opaque or see through at the click of a switch which enabled the stage hands to change set…

    Neil Simon's Fools: Summary

    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…

    The Woman in Black

    In the theatre play there were many props used and some of them were used as many things for example the wicker basket in act 1 was consistently used as a pony and trap and then soon became a train, after this it turned into a trunk with loads of papers in it. In act 2 the basket was used as a desk, a table and a bed, also was used as the pony and trap again. These are using mime to make the things they turned the basket into more believable and more interesting and this also triggered our imagination to think what those things are. Some other props used were 2 chairs, 1 stool and a walking stick. Using the wicker basket at loads of different times in the play makes us as the audience want to watch on because you never know what it is going to be next and it is more exciting, also it makes it easier for the actors to move it during their performance. During act 2 the door turned into a prop, as they started using it. It turned into a prop when the man acting out Arthur kipps was shining the torch light on the door and walking towards it, the door flung open, this was to create a more nervy, scary atmosphere and by doing this I think it was leaving questions in the audience whether it was the women in black or not. At the beginning the set was mucky. There were many old features suggesting that no one has visited that house in years and this could show what houses in that era would have been like. Even though the set was basic,…

    Outsiders In The Outsider

    Today more than ever, people are grouped into social classes based on their friends. You could be considered popular, or lame. This is not just true for middle school, but also life in the 50s. The book The Outsiders focuses on two main cliques, the Greasers and the Socs. One might think that the name represents Greasers, and what they have to deal with, but the real outsiders are specific people. The outsiders are the people who dare to be different from the stereotype of their group, who believe people should be judged on who they are, not social class. Major outsiders in the book are Darry, Ponyboy, and Cherry Valance.…
