Comedy Of Errors Flaws

579 Words3 Pages

Opening night for a theatre performance is always a scramble, so I expected there to be a couple flaws within the performance, but to my surprise, the flaws were sparse. Most of the flaws were simply actors and actresses forgetting their lines-- particularly the actress, Lynley, who played the duke. I noticed she offset the performance on more than one occasion. But enough with the flaws--the overall play was well done.
The Comedy of Errors is one of the few Shakespearean plays that I have yet to read, so as I entered the theatre, all I really hoped for was to understand the context. I presumed that there would be a complex, confusing scenario based on the title of the play. Would I to be able to catch the jokes and understand the chaos? Great

    I loved the placement of different props on stage, like how the first scene where Vivian is first diagnosed was off center to the right. The single spotlights added more emphasis on certain points in the play and I thought that added more to the environment, especially when Vivian would have another monologue and she would step forward towards the audience while the extras moved around the props in the back to change the scene. For sound, I thought the background music for the ending scene really captured the mood for the death of Vivian Bearing. It wasn’t exactly a grieving style of music but it was calming at the same time. Also, the lighting and sound effects for the x-ray scene was outstanding.

    The directors did a great job portraying a small town beauty pageant as along with making it funny. Weaknesses: As of weaknesses in this film, I couldn’t find many personally other than the acting. Some of the scenes could have been better acted out, for example the fight between Amber Atkins and Becky Leeman. I want to believe that purposely wanted it to have cringy acting but not one person makes that

    The performers do bring the play to life and comedy with their acting skills their over the top and eccentric performances makes me question everything that happens to Hannay. The actors do tend to overact and exaggerate themselves which is what is needed in a comedy to laugh about ourselves but not being too silly or dramatic. Acting: The acting is grandious, eccentric and goofy.

    Although Rose was always pushing her daughters to get better and strive to be the best they surprisingly could still relate very well to each other. It was presented that Rose had developed this goal to make her daughter a star because of how her life had gone when she was the same age. She was trying to make sure her daughter would get a better opportunity then her as a performer and as a result live a better life. I think that the play was directed very well it never really dragged on and was able to keep me interested to know what was going to happen in the end. I really liked the part where the kids were performing and they time lapsed it and switched in the adults showing the years passing.

  • Chaz Pitman

    The performers did an excellent job acting out the parts they were assigned. In the beginning of the first act, I made a note of them being very rocky in the beginning and only acting with their body language and not much with their emotions, but once they got more comfortable on stage they brought the characters to life. The main actor, Chaz Pitman, who played the role as Ben, impressed me the most because he was both the main actor and the director of the play. His acting was very believable and at the end when he was having a mental breakdown, I shed a few tears due to how convincing he made it seem. Jeeter and Salyer, who were played by Hal Greer and Kat Lys were the other two actors who captivated my attention.

  • The Play That Goes Wrong Play Analysis

    “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.

    Everyone did an absolutely amazing job with their perspective roles. There were quite a few actors that stood out, for example the chef was a wife to the butler and she was very outspoken and made herself be seen. But there was one character that continuously called my attention throughout the entire play, and that was the Judge Sir Lawrence Wargrave, which was played by Ronald Lemos. Although he didn’t speak a ton in each scene he was always around, and when he did speak it was with so much power it called for your attention.

  • Much Ado About Nothing Play Analysis

    This past Saturday, October 17, I had the opportunity to watch San Joaquin Delta College’s fall production of Much Ado about Nothing, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really liked the way the set was laid out and used to create visual interest as well as the subtle use of scarfs to create multiple costume changes for each character and also the portrayal of the characters by the actors. Overall I very much enjoyed the show, I have always thought that Much Ado was one of William Shakespeare’s more entertaining plays (a close second to Midsummer Night’s Dream). I thought the characters were very entertaining and enjoyable to watch, the lead actors Yessenia and William did a good job of embodying Beatrice and Benedick and

  • Antipholus The Comedy Of Errors

    689 Words  | 3 Pages

    This play called The Comedy of Errors in naturally chock-full of errors. These errors are mostly of mistaken identity thanks to the two sets of identical twins in this play. The twins do not try to act as their twin to fool people, they also do not know about their twin being in the city. The first error is in the very second scene when Antipholus of Syracuse sends Dromio of Syracuse to put his money away, and Dromio of Ephesus comes to him shortly after to bring Antipholus of Syracuse, thinking he is Antipholus of Ephesus, to dinner. Antipholus of Syracuse thinks that Dromio of Ephesus is Dromio of Syracuse and demands to know where he left his money.
