Singin’ In The Rain The author wrote this play for entertainment purposes‚ and also to depict Hollywood’s transition from silent films to "talkies". Though there doesn’t really seem to be any important messages or meanings to the play‚ I felt that the main message behind the play is that things are not always what they seem to be‚ and this was displayed multiple times throughout the play. Don Lockwood and Lena Lamont were thought to be together because of propaganda. Lockwood and his love

Top Dog/ Underdog The theatre production I decided to attend was Suzan-Lori Parks Topdog/Underdog. This was the first play or theatre performance that I have attended. I was unsure of what to expect‚ but I heard great things about this play. Furthermore‚ the first aspect of this production that caught my attention was the design of the set. The design gave the feeling of a run down urban neighborhood by making the outer parts of the stage look like an old brick building. The building looked

DRAMA: the specific mode of fiction represented in performance‚ from a Greek word meaning "action‚" "to do‚" or "to act". The enactment of drama in theatre‚ performed by actors on a stage before an audience‚ presupposes collaborative modes of production and a collective form of reception.

poetic‚ lyrical thriller‚ concerns the vanishing of a 24 year old girl named Karla and three friends who set off looking for her. This is a very complex story‚ which is told in small amount of time with quick switching of dialogue and narration. The theatre was completely packed with the gathering of people which made it very clear that this play is worth to watch. As I got in there were positive vibes and the stage was designed in such a way that there is only front view available which was totally

AESTHETIC EXPERIENCE IN THEATER AND THE ‘I’ OF THE BEHOLDER Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Rationale of the Study Literature has always been a part of every man‚ whether enjoyed and appreciated in different perception‚ it could be through reading the text or by watching it on stage. In the end‚ the important is that readers and viewers are entertained and understood literature at its best. Theater is one of the ways which people can enjoy literature and it has always been

frame that encloses a whole play. It may‚ on the other hand‚ break the frame of the "fourth wall" of conventional theatre‚ reaching out to assault the audience or to draw it into the realm of the play..

Brecht obviously had developed his own theatre practice not only independently of but actually‚ as we have seen‚ defining himself against (what he thought of as) Stanislavski’s work. Whilst he would have recognised these areas of overlap with his own practice‚ he also clearly laid different emphases upon different aspects of the work than Stanislavski would have. So‚ for example‚ Brecht took Stanislavski’s concept of the super-objective‚ which for Stanislavski represents the Ruling Idea of the play
