What I Have Noticed
Last Saturday, November 24, 2012, we have watched the play entitled “4C4”, that was performed by the Philippine stagers foundation and it was directed by Atty. Vincent M. Tanada. The play entitled “4C4” because it is a four contemporary play in one price and it is for the fourth times that they will perform it. The first play was entitled “Stars”. It is about 2 neighborhood which has different idols. The one idolizes Nora Aunor and the second idolizes Vilma Santos. Because of their different interest, they always fight about their idols. Without knowing the son of these two neighborhood unintentionally fell in love with each other. The story was quite shocking especially to the part that their sons are both in love with each other. The lesson we could picked from the story was not to be affected on what you idolize. The second play entitled “Pitik Surplus”. It is about family who has an illegal business. They stole different things especially gadgets with higher amount and sell it to their costumer. But at the end they were arrested by the authority when they know the location of this family. Remember that all evildoing doesn’t succeed. The third play was entitled “Stranded” which is about four friends stranded in Hong Kong International Airport because of the bad weather. In that place where they were stranded, a lot of things happen to them. They revealed their feelings to each other. Like the two couple revealed their relationship as a lover. And the other one with a disability, said what he feels to the girlfriend of his brother. Because in their friendship they don’t have secrets. This story was funny and full of romance.
The last play was “Spirits”. It happened during the Japanese era. Where the person was possessed of the lost of his Family. Even though his parents and sister died, he still hears them and sometimes he saw some spirits. This story was horrifying and full of suspense. Because

    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).…

    As a contemporary Australian Drama, The China Incident, directed by Daniel Evans and performed at The Cremorne Theatre on the 13th of February, 2013, replicates modern day realities in a humorous demeanour. The play, driven by success, fear and family, explores modern day issues in which it is told that success is deemed to be important in society, and a person is either successful with their family or in their career. The China Incident successfully communicates these themes, thus creating a contemporary Australian Drama. Through the effective use of the elements of drama, symbols, roles and tension, the Australian audience can easily identify with the play’s dramatic meaning, the fear of not being successful.…

    Ever since Hu Shi introduced Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House to China and wrote his first play The Main Event in Life in 1919, Chinese culture and society started to accept modern spoken drama and it marked as the beginning that Chinese modern spoken dram became one of the alternatives to the traditional Chinese drama. However, although the history of Chinese modern spoken drama is not too long, the changes in the historical contexts and societies in China over the past 100 years have created distinct characteristics in plays of certain periods of time. Therefore, under different historical backgrounds, the models of the society differ. For example, the play The Main Event in Life…

    Firstly, introduction should set the play immediately. It may take in the form of narration or dialogue by characters who provides hints to the theme. Secondly, transitions between scene must not only be smooth, but must also develop the theme. Lastly, conclusion must have a clear ending for children to be certain that the play has ended and it should end with a serious note. The above description of the different segments of the play was emphasized by Sloyer (1982) to achieve the goal of Children’s Theatre; to create a cohesive whole where the literacy selections is easily understood. She also highlighted that the plot should not be long-winded. Children should be able to understand the plot within a short duration. These characteristics of the storyline were seen in When All Was Green. As the play focusses on the theme of environment, the image of the tree was the main focus in the introduction and conclusion. Even without a narrator, the happy interaction between the tree and the character in the introduction had a lasting first image for children. It highlighted that the play would revolve around the two characters. The conclusion image, on the other hand, displayed the contrast. The roots of the tree were the only thing left to show the negative impact of modernization and character’s actions. Also, the play ended with a gloomy and quiet note which helped children…
