    While many will agree that Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is critically acclaimed to be one of the most entertaining and well-liked pieces that he has written, there tends to be a discrepancy over how the characters in the play are portrayed when it comes to the importance of gender roles. After reading James C Bulman’s article over the Globe’s more recent performance of Twelfth Night and Shakespeare’s original written version, I realized that there are many ways that this famous piece has been portrayed and each has its own pros and cons.…

    The whole production starts with a sharply dressed Skiffle band, entertaining the crowd as they all take their seats and to set the mood that filled the theatre. As the heavy red curtain finally rises after deep anticipation, the stage is decorated with a lounge room scene filled with an array of different characters. The first few minutes seem to pass quite slowly, mainly because it was rather difficult to understand the characters strong British accents and jokes only an Englishman would find funny. The first hint of what is to come, is the entrance of Francis Henshall, the lovable harlequin played by Owain Arthur, as he enters and proceeds to catch a grape in his mouth after somersaulting over a chair and landing on his back, adding a superb element of slapstick to the show. Another golden point is the addition of short musical performances in-between set changes, which kept the audience enthusiastic and didn’t let the energy fade.…

    A Midsummer Night's Dream is one of Shakespeare's most popular and frequently performed comical plays (Berardinelli). The play transformed into a cinematic production by Michael Hoffman has not changed in its basic plot and dialogue, but the setting and some character traits have. The play setting has been gracefully moved from 16th century Greece to 19th century Tuscany (Berardinelli). The addition of bicycles to the play affects the characters in that they no longer have to chase each other around the woods, but can take chase in a more efficient fashion. As far as characters are concerned, Demetrius is no longer the smug and somewhat rude character we find in act 1, scene 1 (Shakespeare pg. 6, line 91), but rather a seemingly indifferent gentleman placed in an unfortunate circumstance set to delay his wedding to Hermia. Perhaps the most noticeable change in the character set from stage to film occurs in the characters of Puck and Nick Bottom.…

    With the type of environment fostered by this strong community of committed thespians, there is no chance that this show is anything less than a spectacle. Before opening night, all actors seemed high in spirits and giddy with excitement for the first show the next night. Theres a certain comfortability they have with each other that seems to be unique to the theater department. It is difficult to understand just what exactly that factor is, but David Ybarra (who will portray Friar Lawrence) says, “one of the things about the theater community is that its generally a very positive community to be around…no matter who we have, we’ll always be joking…

    Michael Gow Journey

    • 3021 Words
    • 13 Pages

    Gow has set up a simple story set in the late 1960’s about three different families with their own sets of issues taking a holiday at the end of the school year. Although this particular journey may seem to be a physical journey, it’s simply a metaphor for the inner journey that each character from each family takes to reach a stage of restoration and hope. From the very beginning of the play Gow incorporates “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” into his own work by beginning his own drama with the ending of Shakespeare’s play with the character Tom playing “Puck”. This is extremely significant as Gow uses his play as a comparison or rather an appropriation of Shakespeare’s drama using Tom as the centre of activity and the character that initiates action. This interweaves beautifully with the character Puck as he is the fairy that directs the other fairies in Shakespeare’s drama. Gow has shown his audience who the main character is and by placing Tom in the role of “Puck” he tells viewers that it is Tom who is going to be the centre of the journeys taking place in the…

    The Shrew Themes

    ‘A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money’( W.C Fields). The main male characters in “The Taming of The Shrew” and “Ten Things I Hate About You”, Petruchio and Patrick, have three things in common, the lust for money, the lust for power, and the lust for women. In the 1967 version of the play, originally written by Shakespeare, Petruchio is portrayed as brute only thinking about money and himself. In the 1999 version Patrick is portrayed as a charming, smooth talker that doesn’t care about social expectations. They use their character traits to woo Katharina (1967) Kate (1999). She’s a shrew that doesn’t care about social expectations or how she should act in public. I personally believe that the films are a love story about a man and a woman freeing each other.…

    When on stage or simply performing in front on an audience, I feel a great sensation that allows me to feel free and express myself both in body and in mind. The opportunity to play a fictional character has helped me to understand and convey emotions and states of mind more clearly as well as being able to portray any kinds of characters. Being a part of something so exciting and bursting with energy is one of the many things that make me happy, so I’m willing to work as hard as it takes to get me where I know I need to be.…

    William Shakespeare is one of the greatest author in English literature with all of his works from different genres from comedy, romantic, tragedies, the list goes on. "The Taming of the Shrew" relates to many of William Shakespeare love stories where they use comedic devices to help with the plot of the story. There are many stories where they use comedic devices to help create a plot. When using these devices, the audience is understanding the events happening during the play and what is expecting to happen. Others may say that without having these comedic devices it will still become a story with or without using comedic devices to entertain readers. I argue that using these comedic devices help develop the plot of "The Taming of the Shrew" to help enhance the action and gives the audience a mystery what to expect during the play. Without these comedic devices the play would go on without a ending.…

    Not long after his father’s death, John began his acting career. As a beginning actor, he received a lot of negative criticism. He was given mixed reviews because of his father’s drunken legacy, his lack of ability to correctly recite lines, and attend practice sober. Despite John’s negative reviews, he persevered through the world of drama. At the age of seventeen, he made his first official debut, playing the Earl of Richmond in a popular adaptation of Shakespeare’s Richard III. In this play, John’s character was that of a hero who destroyed a murderous tyrant. As he approached his early twenties, John had become a well known, handsome, and stunning actor in the city of Richmond, Virginia. At the age of twenty, his mother claimed he was “the handsomest man in America[1]”. John also understood women. He was one of the lucky men able to work his…
