Medea Play Critique

632 Words3 Pages

The play I performed was Medea. The play was about an out of the ordinary women who went against her family and married a man.She abandoned her home to be with a man who then left her for a royal bed. She then went on a revenge rampage. I had to play two different people in the play . I was the nurse first then later I played Medea We prepared for the play in a plethora of ways. The first way we prepared for the play was actually reading the play as a class. In some cases we would act out the play while reading it. Another way was prepared for the play was writing summaries after every act occurred. The next thing we did to prepare for the play was blocking. Blocking is when you decide where you are going to stand. Then we practiced acting out our scenes using those positions.Then after that we took both classes and went through the play various amount of times. …show more content…

Something I thought I did well also was with blocking and I actually stayed serious and in character. The reason I think I did well with this is because every time I would mess up I would laugh or make weird sounds .Then that would mess me up even more than when I first messed up. So I think I really improved myself with that. Some things I think I can improve on we're remembering my lines and putting faith in myself to do that. Another thing I think I can improve on was actually putting more life in my lines and expressing my lines rather than just standing in one spot and saying them without feeling and

Jeffer's Adaptation Of Medea

190 Words | 1 Pages

Unspectacularly, the Jeffers adaptation of Medea is quite a disappointment painting Medea as an animal with no “reason” or human-like thought in regards to her decisions. “QUOTE”. Consistently compared to animals, Medea rarely gains the respect as the incredibly intelligent human-being that Medea should have. On countless occasions, Medea remains seen as an animal, including, “I shall not die perhaps as a pigeon does. Nor like an innocent lamb, that feels a hand on its head and looks up from the knife to the man’s face and dies – No, like some yellow-eyed beast that has killed its hunters let me lie down” (Jeffers, 28.)

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers Analysis

1152 Words | 5 Pages

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is the first live play I have ever attended. I did not know what to anticipate, especially after hearing numerous accidents occurred during rehearsals. I was a bit skeptical about it. However when the play began, the on-point accents, the rowdy fight scenes, and their fluent moves all caught my attention. The facial expressions the actors and actresses exhibited on their glowing faces made the show enjoyable.

Through my many years of school, kindergarten through high school, I have had countless numbers of people and experiences that have shaped me into the young woman I am today. My most recent experience that has taught me so much about myself and life is my first theater experience, UIL one act play. For years and years my parents encouraged me to try out for one-act play. They believed I would be a natural since I previously enjoyed public speaking contests. Because of my involvement in so many other extra-curricular activities, there always seemed to be a conflict that gave me a good excuse not to try out for the play.

The Play 39 Steps

The switching of roles is as quick as the blink of an eye especially the scenes with the traveling salesman, conductor and Hannay. They also use vocal sounds to reenact trains noises and other objects that aren't visual props but still make you feel as if they're there. The actors themselves being human props is a great thing that makes the play work. The funny accents especially of Hannay are quite comical. When Annabella simulates sex with the male actor with her having a knife wound in her back was hilarious as hell I actually cried

Sympathy In Euripides's The Medea

1118 Words | 5 Pages

In Euripides’ text The Medea, Medea can easily be painted as the villian. She is a woman who killed her own children in an attempt to spite her husband. But, by examining the text, we can see that she deserves some sympathy. She has little to no control over her own life and has to rely on the will of men. And as a foreigner in Corinth abandoned by her husband, she faces even more challenges than the native women of Corinth did.

The Play That Goes Wrong Play Analysis

760 Words | 4 Pages

“The Play That Goes Wrong” required a very detailed strategic plan of the arranged props and set design that actors need to follow in their performance. I believe the performers did a marvelous job in following the detailed choreography of the show. One of the most memorable cast members was Nancy Zamit. She played Annie the stage manager, who took the spotlight when she was forced into playing Charles’ fiancée named Sandra because the original female lead got "knocked unconscious” in the middle of the play. As terribly shy as she was, Zamit intensified the enjoyment of the audience as her character was reading off lines from pages of the script very awkwardly and awfully in an unfitted red dress and wig.
