Dian Diana Play Analysis

314 Words2 Pages

Before reading this musical, I did not have good idea of what it was about. I thought it was a comedy in some ways, but I did not except it to be so dramatic. This musical touches on subjects that are very fragile. I did not expect the son to be a ghost, and to have died when he was younger, and he is a ghost in the musical. With the musical being so emotional, there is a lot of adult content. I was shocked at the end of act one, when I found out about the death of their son. The musical takes until close to the end for everything to truly make sense, but it was directed more to adults then teenagers. Fortunately, the things in the musical were relatable for teenagers such as having annoying parents or having relationship issues. This was a heart wrenching musical as well, for I cried multiple times. …show more content…

    Morgan fit perfectly to the weird boy because he is able to depict this boy. Same goes with Genevieve which all in all were good choices. The “going to the past” were a good indicator of them growing up which made the play flow very good and connect to the situation at hand. The blocking was good with all of them interacting with this and that just added more to the play. Also it was funny when they used the whole audience area for acting and made the audience more involved with the show.

    462 Words  | 2 Pages

    Lockie Leonard, the novel written by Tim Winton, is a false representation of the way teenagers act in today’s society. It is not a relatable book for young teenagers as the book claims that all teenagers would act the same way as Lockie. In the book it explains about a 12 year old boy has fallen in love. This book is trying to represent how all teenagers act and it is too predictable for it to be real as there are many surprises in life. This book should not be a recommendation for young people.

    It touches on a true story that has been overlooked throughout history, and needs to be shown in the spotlight more. For Melanie Marnich & Sally J. Robertson to present a topic of how a group of women stood up for their rights without being silent, is something that should remind women of all ages no matter who you are and where you come from, you have a voice to be heard. These Shining Lives is another excellent play that I have been able to watch from beginning to end. I definitely recommend this play for women ages 13 and over, if you love theatre or just interested in history, in

    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
