Synopsis Of The Play 'The Wild Party'

843 Words4 Pages

The production of The Wild Party was held at the Woolfe Street Playhouse on November 28th, 2014 at 7:30PM. The Wild Party tells a tale of classic scandal amongst a small group of characters during their time. Burrs, a promiscuous man played by Ryan Ahlert, continues to woo women while holding on to his great passion, Queenie who is played by Emily Wilhoit. As the play’s events unravel Burrs’s abusive nature towards Queenie causes her to gravitate to another character that has been wooed and brought to the party by Kegs, a call girl and good friend to Queenie played by Allyson Musmeci. When the charming Mr. Black, played by Immanuel Houston, is brought to this outrageous party by Kegs, he doesn’t feel too comfortable at first, but soon he …show more content…

The set design by Keely Enright aided in the dramatic action of the story by giving disorder to the stage presence and everyone on it. Things such as dirty clothing, cluttered rooms, tacky furniture and assumingly not smelling too pleasant make the scene appear as if there was a wild party here already. Queenie and Kegs’s costumes are dysfunctional, identifying with both the theme and the nature of their character. Burrs and Mr. Black’s characters were essentially polar opposites which showed in their acting and costuming. That polarity between the two lays out a complicated set of emotion and standards, which can be applied to …show more content…

Keely Enright’s interpretation was executed well by the technical crew and actors, which allowed the story to be easily understood. While there were a few minor kinks in the execution they were not big enough to alter the overall view of the characters or plot. This is by no means a show for all ages as there are multiple drug references and scenes of intimacy on stage, however, these choices add to the reality portrayed by the play. In conclusion, I enjoyed the production, but I would not see it again nor would I recommend it to a friend because the audience demographic for The Wild Party seems to be in the 45-60 age

Ruby Moon Codes And Conventions

Manipulating the magical realism conventions, symbolism and multiple role-playing, and australian gothic convention intertextuality, Dan presents with dark humour a disturbing yet intriguing remarkable piece of theatre. A very obvious convention that Dan Evans has manipulated into this play is the use of magical realism’s multiple role-playing. With only two actors and eight different characters, we watch Ray and Sylvie progressively lose their mind as they visit each

Summary Of Mr Burns A Post Electric Play

779 Words | 4 Pages

The major conflict is when Mr. Burns tries to take over and kill others one by one. Most people preferred to see the play without reading or doing any research prior to watching the show. Therefore, when the audience saw the poster of “Mr.Burns” in the lobby some of them had thought that there was only going to be two survivors because in the poster there were only two people sitting by the fire. However, this play only had one surviving protagonist by the end of the play because Mr. Burns had killed others one by one. As far as costumes and set designs the crew members had done a great job showing the audience the transitions of three different times such as the past, present, and future.

She Kills Monsters Play Analysis

The scene I would like to focus on occurs at the beginning of the play as the two main protagonists are being introduced. Agnes, a 22-year-old designated university graduate and designated high school teacher delivers an accurate verbal reflection of herself to the audience by listening to pop-music, which gives her an ordinary and, at the same time, contemporary demeanor. Contrasting her personally and even visually, through standing in front of a canvas that supports the appearance of both by shadow pantomime, is Tilly who is basically obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons, a fantasy table-top role playing game that assigns each player a specific character (in Tilly’s case, Tillius the Paladin) embarking upon fantastic adventures. The depiction

Analysis Of Josie Rourke's Much Ado About Nothing

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.

Trees were placed at either side of the set to frame the setting. Logs were also placed DSR and DSL, this was a representation of where the younger version of Alice would commonly go to play and look at the mountains with Nugget. There was a see through curtain at the back of the stage where each character placed themselves when not in the scene, this gave the characters purpose on stage. The table placed centre stage provided the main space for characters to communicate and connect. An example of the use of the table was when Nugget and Alice would sit around the table - he would tell her stories and helped Alice with her schoolwork.

Backstage areas of the theater, dressing rooms, rooftops, corridors, and, of course, the stage all provide deeply detailed to perfectly contain the characters in the film. Printed couches, scrawled “congratulations” notes, flowers and flickering light bulbs adorn our hero’s dressing room. These spaces are each decorated to look authentic. Color also plays a large role in “Birdman”. The stage lighting shifts dramatically throughout the play within the film and this theme often bleeds into the backstage of the St. James Theater.

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.
