This closing show of the 5th anniversary season is what I watched for this week’s digital review. The you tube websites is Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czFoUWwd6mI has created a tapped live stage performance of that takes place in theater setting. The Tempest in my opinion is a Shakespearean classic tale that takes place in inside of a small arena with a stage close enough to see all the actors and actresses costume designs. Savage Rose Classical Theatre Company's June 2014 production of The Tempest begins on a round open stage with dim lighting. This open stage is round and visually appealing creating a dynamic overview of what it would be to be in the Roman era shipwrecked on a desert island. The costumes seen by the actors displayed a vintage style that looked old and worn. This type of clothing recreated the look of being handmade for an indication of Ancient Roman style.
The dramatic minimal lights helped illuminate and keep the audience engaged for the Imagination of magic of the Prospero and his daughter Miranda. …show more content…

The stage was open and although the lights were has illuminating effects, there should have been more dramatization and sound. This would have helped exaggerate the effects making it more believable and inviting of the scene. Reading written play, Shakespeare clearly defines the storm paints an image of how Prospero is calling upon his spirt. In addition the sea was defined as violent that creates an image of choppy, uneasy water and non desirable waves. The theater could have used more sound or provided vivid colors in its design for viewing of the storm and

Plot Summary Of The Play 'This Random World'

1155 Words | 5 Pages

The setting depicted elements of nature by using lights and water to create a calm, conscious atmosphere. The play began with rain sounds in the background, leading up to actual rain pouring onto the stage during the shrine and the funeral scenes. The lights gave off blue overtones in almost every scene. In the scene with Scottie and Bernadette, the blue lights contrasted with orange lights to give the audience a perspective of the sunset that Scottie viewed every day. The lights, subtle music, and rain helped me make sense of the setting and feel like I was a part of the show.

Lighting was used throughout the production to highlight changes in how the set was used. The light in the cabin changed when the area of the ship changed. When the cabin was used as the captains' quarters, the light would be a neutral glow. Whereas, when the mysterious cargo on the ship was being shown the light would turn red and shine up through the top of the cabin. During the crescendo of the production there was a sudden blackout and strobe lights were used to highlight the reveal of the vampire.

Camp Twilight Play Review Essay

1119 Words | 5 Pages

The actors spoke too quickly to be picked up on recording very easily, so I strained to hear complete sentences and often couldn’t understand what was being said. This caused some of the vocal comedy and one-liners to fall flat on the audience, as the actors gave no time for themselves or the audience to react before immediately jumping into the next line. The recording equipment were a few amateur quality camcorders, as well, which further challenged my ability to understand what was being said. The lighting throughout the play felt ‘safe’, for lack of a better term. They kept consistent lighting, dimmed the lights slightly and put on blue lights when necessary for the darker scenes, but the dimming was mostly subtle and I could hardly read any blue light unless I squinted to notice, with one scene being the exception: the Mean Girls were congregated in the late night to prepare a prank, and the lighting was dramatically more blue and dim, and it appears they had also prepared a fog machine for more ambience.

Physical Elements In The Odyssey

I believe that the physical elements of the performance were effective in demonstrating the setting in every scene perform by the actors of the play. Sometimes the actors will carry a hat, a pig nose, or a giant eye in their forehead to personalize the characters that they were playing. For example, an actress wore a giant eye on her forehead, which help the audience to identify her as the cyclops. Tables, chairs, lights, and speakers were the main physical elements on the stage. The setting was being manipulated by the actors, sometimes they will move the table to one side, or towards the middle in order to build a particular setting.

On September 30, 2017, I saw Comedy of Errors, a play written by William Shakespeare. This production was adapted for young audiences and co-directed by Eric Brinkman and Aubrey Helene. It was performed by Ohio State Theatre students at the Lincoln Theatre in downtown Columbus, Ohio. After reading this play and having attended many productions of William Shakespeare’s plays in the past, I expected old-fashioned and dignified costumes, mature and sophisticated character portrayals, and an elaborate set. What I experienced was unlike anything I had imagined.

I attended the Saturday matinee performance with my Mom. We were both equally moved by Juliet's performance and that was about it. The orchestra was definetly the supporting star during this show. Ulbritch woo-ed the crowd with his athleticism, but as far as adding to the story, it was just another guy jumping around. But his large thunderous applause was much warranted for his display of dance.

Shakespeare's Impact On Theatre

As a result, the experience of Shakespeare’s plays in the theater took a populist turn” (Octane 1). This shows that Shakespeare brought many new elements to playwriting, which seemingly improved plays because “Audience members engaged with the events taking place on stage, becoming vocal and often raucous” (Octane 1). This suggests that the new elements in Shakespeare’s writing sparked emotion in audience members as if the events were real. If an author can spark emotion in so many audience members, it shows that their writing style is extremely effective. Additionally, “Shakespeare is also credited as having invented genres that mixed both tragedy and comedy.

Violence In The Tempest

Unlike Shakespeare’s other main characters, he is much more enigmatic. In they play Prospero is portrayed as the rogue who seeks revenge on his brother Antonio for his treachery. In this Shakespearean comedy it becomes clear that Prospero is the heart of power on the island. Evidently Prospero has been wronged by his brother’s usurping which he could not control and now uses his magic as a tool for controlling the events that occur on island throughout the play. The theme of power in this play is hugely significant as it clear that the violence interrogated in this play is in relation to power and the abuse of that power by the protagonist.
