A Midsummer Night's Dream And Jersey Shore

500 Words2 Pages

Two plays that unexpectedly affected my life were Ken Ludwig’s Midsummer Jersey, a spin-off of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and the reality television show Jersey Shore. The other play, Seussical the Musical Jr. by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, is a show that combines Dr. Seuss’s most famous works into one play, focusing on Horton the Elephant and the Who’s of Whoville. The reason these shows affected my life, is because they gave me a confidence kick, and allowed me to break free from my timid shell. In seventh grade, I was cast the role of a “Who” in Seussical the Musical. I was very excited, but also nervous because it would be my first show. The cast ranged from age 4-40 and was performed for our entire community and surrounding

    One day, my theater group was holding auditions for the Ugly Duckling. When I walked on stage in front of the judges, my heart was pounding in my ears and my hands were trembling. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and delivered the monologue I had prepared. When I was finished, I felt instant relief, although I was not very optimistic about getting the part I had tried out for. However, the next week, when I came to my theater group, I looked up at the audition board and was shocked.

    In plays, no one arrives or leaves from the stage without contributing in some way to the complexity of the play. Considering two or three plays you have studied, compare the impact on meaning of some arrivals and departures from the stage. Characters invest the play with human interest, as they provide an added element to the plot. Set in a post World War II ambiance, ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’, by Tennessee Williams, he focuses upon his own personal demons embedded into the characters embarking on a metaphorical self-journey of destruction ironic to the title itself.

  • Analysis Of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time

    I really enjoyed reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time because it is a story that doesn’t often get told. For the most part, we know surface level details about special needs individuals, they attend the same schools as us, they work among us, but in many ways their world is completely separate from our own reality, and more often than not is a silent one. The Curious Incident provides a different outlook on these individuals, it forces the audience to feel, and empathize with Christopher rather than detach ourselves through facts and information. Not only was the play in some ways ground breaking, but there was also good humor and also made Christopher’s story have normalcy to it as well. I believe that sometimes we tend

  • 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.

  • Why Is Shakespeare Still Relevant Today

    738 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the twenty-first century, the plays of William Shakespeare may at first appear dated and irrelevant: they use archaic language, are set in the age of Kings and Queens, and the Kingdom of England. However, it would be plainly mistaken to construe that Shakespeare’s works do not still remain integral to a twenty-first century society. Shakespeare’s plays gave the words and expressions one uses every day, revolutionized the art of theater as it was known, and forewarned about issues that would unknowingly still apply centuries later. Therefore, Shakespeare has had a profound effect on our lives by enriching our language and culture, as well as providing ideas that would still apply five centuries later, and it would thus behoove us to learn from his works and life.

    Literary masterpieces are all around us in the world. The most famous of these are the ones that have stood the test of time even after hundreds of years. A Midsummer’s Night Dream is a story that most have heard in one way or another, whether in a remediation or by seeing the play themselves. The love of the characters in this play, while seemingly innocent enough, is the result of completely unnatural tampering. The fairies broke a moral boundary by faking the love of the four humans.
