Things That Resonate With Me Play Analysis

Things that resonate with me positively- The few things are 1) How sarcastic the characters in the play are. They trash talk and are so aggressive in the play with cruel jokes.Throughout the play you see everyone trying to get someone to get there hand off the truck. Here is an example Kelli “ I’ve seen people take their hands off so’s Greg.
Greg” People in the pit seem it too , just ask em
Kelli “You can lift your hand so nobody sees it then put it right back on. it 's not so hard to do. This is what resonates with me because i enjoy the fierce competition for the truck. Another part of the play from pg 56 and 57 from the beginning of the page you see benny being the big tough guy and everyone taking notice and ganging up on him with the end of 56 Benny starts singing the song about “IF YOU CAN’T HUNT WITH THE BIG DOGS” Song mainly has to do with benny not coming to make friends or play nice. He came to win the truck and Kelli, Greg, Janis all say he doesn’t scare anyone and he can keep talking the …show more content…

The question I have for this play is--- What was the hardest part when it came to production for this play?
The way this play speaks to me personally is just the competition. I love seeing competitions in sports, eating anything. I love the comical parts in it with the trash talk and just the ending it reminds me of how movies end with the happy part.

The one object that is most important to me is the truck because that is what the play is about. It sets the tone for the competition. The one person who i think made this play great was Bennie because everyplay/ movie/ tv show has the “bad guy” who adds to the story- Bennie is the guy who pisses people off in the play. He is the attention seeker as in wans all the light on him. When in the end he ends up not winning after all which makes the story come to a happy ending where JD wins the truck but ends up giving it to his wife.

1 word to describe this play- Amazing- I loved the trash talk in it and the pure

Furthermore, the moody sound cues and the hard lighting of the background was a perfect combination to most of its electrifying scenes, such as the cross-examination scene of the main antagonist, in order to reflect a mostly conflict ridden and angry scenes. For me, this is because the entire play is staged as when it is written, where its historical significance is key to the plot. Thus, as a spectator, I was swayed by the timely vibe of Australia in the eighties, complemented by the timeworn

Those plot twists, however, are primarily because of Ludwig’s writing, but AHS’s production of A Game’s Afoot was able to seize those twists with the cast’s splendid acting along with the ambiance and music to accompany those riveting moments. Those moments prove to be very memorable. Events, such as Simon and Aggie being caught to be the mastermind of the murders from the past, but not Daria’s , Mrs. Gillette being the murderer of Daria, and Daria screaming into the crowd at the end of the play lead to memorable moments. Each plot twist was a change in the storyline that was not perceived to happen and wonderfully captured

The play Well was interesting, confusing, and comedic. Lisa Kron came out and at first I thought she was the narrator, but she was actually in the play. The play started off with Lisa Kron talking about illness and wellness. She wanted to know why some people would get over the sickness they had, but others stayed sick. Her mother was in the back sitting on a La-Z-Boy chair and was sick and the doctors did not know what she had.

I liked that Paula Vogel did not hold back and let all of the emotions of the play loose. I am anticipating that I will enjoy the play. I personally think I would like it more if the characters were portrayed by only people rather that people holding puppets, but they have too much symbolic meaning to be left out. I think the puppets are meant to resemble the fact that we really have no control over our own lives as children. The release of the real people from the puppets into adults symbolizes the freedom from their

Each character in this play has made an impact whether that's good or bad it always gives us a bigger message. Take Abigail as an example. She may not be a good person but she teaches us a message about how we give into desires instead of following God and being pure as the puritans believed. Betty is important because she was one of the first people to be accused once she was dancing in the woods, this portrays the assumptions that were made during the Salem witch trials.

Like most performances, “Kinky Boots” is highly educative and informative owing to the plot and storyline which have a different approach as opposed to most plays. As such, my choice to select “kinky Boots” as my performance of choice is influenced by the international acclaim the play has received from the time of its debut. Notably, the play has a variety of advantages owing to the level of experience of its writers, cast, and crew members. However, the show has managed to attract a large demographic because of its use of theatrics showcased in the performance. The response discusses my personal opinion of the play “Kinky Boots” which I attended in the Boston Opera House on the 11th of august.
