Ruby Moon Monologue

448 Words2 Pages

For our group project we (Belis, Ziggy, Liesel and I) chose to perform the Australian play Ruby Moon. As a group we attempted to bring across the mystery and thrill that makes Ruby Moon so successful whilst also allowing the audience to have a clear understanding of whats happening. It is for this reason we decided to perform the first two scenes- the prologue and scene 1 as both scenes follow well back to back and achieve that eerie mood that is portrayed throughout the entirety of the play.
We wanted the audience to get chills and feel on edge during our performance.We wanted people to see the parents of missing children point of view and really feel the anguish and distress they suffer whilst they deal with the grief and doubt of what has happened.One of our main aims was to have the audience be captivated and connect with the wacky and out -there characters we were portraying.During our play we showed this grief by having the characters constantly keeping space between them which also represented the disconnection between the characters particularly in the prologue with Sylvie and Ray. …show more content…

We as a group decided to do two to each scene so we could all fully immerse ourselves into the specific character we decided on. Liesel and I performed as Ray and Sylvie respectively in the prologue. As a pair we decided to change the setting from a lounge room to a kitchen/ dinning room in order to relate more to the text, show more symbolism such as the empty seat at the dinning table and differ from Ziggy and Belis’ set of Doilcy Doil’s lounge room in which our set was side by side

This confinement damages the characters' ability to make connections, and as a result, they are unable to reconnect with loved ones. Consequently, this leads to a detachment between the characters and their families. A character that demonstrates this disconnection is Maisie. She feels as though she is a stranger looking in from the outside: "I lasted a month. No matter how hard I tried, this place, their house, was no longer home, and these people, though kind and loving, were like strangers pretending to be family" (Good 59).

Stargirl Monologue

I thought Stargirl was acting weird the other day like she was upset. I was very surprised because I have never seen her upset. I didn’t talk to her though because the whole school has been shunning her and I didn’t want to stand out. Yesterday, I saw her and she was wearing normal clothes like everyone else. She didn’t have her ukulele or her sunflower canvas bag she always carried around.

Analysis Of Josie Rourke's Much Ado About Nothing

988 Words | 4 Pages

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.

Helen Robinson Monologue

529 Words | 3 Pages

I’m Helen Robinson, Tom Robinson’s wife. There was a timeframe in the book just after Tom was killed, before Helen could find a secure way to earn money for her family; it was a very unstable time for her and her children. Although Helen is portrayed as meek and kindhearted, much like Tom, the overwhelming sadness and pressure may have caused her to break down emotionally, or feel some emotions of vengeance towards a majority of the white community; especially the Ewells. In the novel, the black church provides her with funding and support while Tom is in court.

Jamestown Play Themes

The despair of life is presented when it is revealed that John is in the hospital, then dies after a suicide attempt. On the other hand, the beauty of life is displayed after baby John is born, all of these moments in the play helped settle in themes of life as well as death. Another common theme was loneliness, several characters seemed to be alone, such as Mary when her husband did not make it in time for the birth, or John’s loneliness being a driving factor behind his suicide. We saw an attempted break from loneliness when the odd ball John asked Mary for a hug, or when Mary offered him a sandwich. Simple gestures like those in the play, often made huge statements.

Why Did You Use A Non-Linear Structure For A Play

162 Words | 1 Pages

Now something that a lot of our audiences wanted to hear from you was why did you use a non-linear structure for your play? Normally, non-linear structures are used by writers to mimic the messiness of the situation and recall of human memory, and that structure is parallel to the situation of the Stolen children. I personally found it very powerful because it allowed the audience to view the events that happened from different perspectives and it also demonstrates the fast pace of the story and I think the non-linear structure of ‘Stolen’ also represents this tearing of families apart as it moves from scene to scene abruptly and quickly without warning, this is shown through quick lighting and prop changes. Without these elements of drama

Lolita Monologue

“Fascinating!” I said. I knew the agents were watching me for any sign of recognition, any revealing reaction of any sort, so I forced a nonchalant deadpan as I looked carefully to see if I knew who she was. I was quickly relieved to see she was not my Lolita or her mother, or any of the other natives of that far-off land I had come to know particularly well. Still, odds were I had not only met this poor girl, but had probably 'known' her in the biblical sense as well during my sojourn there.
