The most obvious prop was the implementation of the two giant screens placed on the ends of the stage. During every scene the screens would consistently change their projection in order to give off the effect of a complete background for the audience to experience. For example, towards the end of Act One, where Igor, Frederick and Inga were in his Transylvania residence, the giant screens projected static images of castle walls in order for the audience to feel like they were almost in an actual castle. In order to meet the demands for constant stage changes, some scenery props would be outfitted with wheels in order to quickly and silently change scenes. Then there was the actual interaction with the props, such as during the scene “Join The Family Business”, where Frederick and Inga would interact with a moving bookshelf which gave the audience some more insight about Inga and Frederick.
A few weeks ago I went to the showing of a piece titled Braided Sorrow at the University of San Francisco Lone Mountain Theater. Braided Sorrow is a performance written by Marisela Orta, was directed by Roberto Varea and was presented by the USF Performing Arts Department. When I arrived to the performance the first thing that I noticed was the set up of the stage. It looked very different from usual. This past spring semester I was in a class taught by Professor Varea (The director of the play) and throughout the semester we were required to go to a number of performances.
The set was simple, and it had a lot old fashion furniture that you don't see that much unless you have grandparent that still have old style furniture. The theater was small and minimalistic and help the audience feel closer the
The scenery was weird when I first came in maybe because I wasn 't expecting to see boobs been drawn on trees and also penis on trees. Everything went well with what was going on in the stage. The outside venue was nice not like some others I 've been to. The play was interesting and really funny, well the actors made it funny. The actors would interact with the audience.
The scenic designer, Terry Martin, truly captured the elements of this production. The way E. Turner Stump Theatre was set up made you feel like you were in the side show yourself. There were lights hanging from the ceiling, and cages set up for the “freaks” on the stage. It was creepy, uncomfortable, and mesmerizing. Examples where the set design was most adequate was during the love tunnel scene, during the beginning of the production, and at the ending of the production.
The stage design gives the impression of the characters being in two separate rooms, the positioning of blocks and pillars helps again to demonstrate this. This intricate attention to detail enables the performance to be compared so similarly to the movie adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic, although the ‘big screen’ enables more room for a fast change in setting and shots, Rourke does a phenomenal job trying to create this illusion which works so brilliantly. The night before the wedding or you could refer to it as the ‘stag and hen do’ was an unexpected twist that the audience definitely did not see coming. Again, the revolving stage was used to represent the divide between the women and the men and to compensate for the lack of space that the stage could carry.
when and where everything that was going on since all the scenic design was all on stage together. The lighting really helps with showcasing a Christmas day with Charlie
One of the most important in this particular play is the acting. The actors are good at adapting from one role to the next and switching accessories quickly. The different use of British and other accents in a stereotypical but serious way. The director attempts to make the play successful by bringing everything to life and using the actors to do everything in a smooth and funny matter.
The highlights of The novel boldly interweave the past and present, of storytelling without hiding the universal truth and unravel the cruel beauty of and reality which is told in a brilliant but modern retelling that undoubtedly has its roots firmly based in the dark secrets of the Holocaust. This story is told in a beautiful, haunting and tragic way and manage to be able to weave a unique web of symbolism that offers a direct beginning-to-end storytelling technique. Yolen uses the fairy tales. As a point of reference to demonstrate the mysteries of the holocaust as well as the flashbacks to be able to describe what the underpinning as well as how transitional the material can be. Yolen managed to use the story of Sleeping Beauty to express how the story develops into two parallel stories.

The music of that scene is a high pitch and rapid rhythm that brings audiences horrified and worried feelings.
