Performing In The Play Metamorphoses By Mary Zimmerman

601 Words3 Pages

I had the opportunity to perform in Metamorphoses By Mary Zimmerman. This play tells many stories about the greek gods and goddesses. Some of these stories I found myself familiar with and some were new unknowns. This play features some greek characters that many individuals know of and consequently many individuals that I have never heard. I noticed by watching or performing in this play the play resembles very adequately to a story. There are narrators that tell you short stories about the different gods and goddesses, and while observing there are actors in the background creating a visual picture. Not to mention all the stories take a place in a real pool filled with water. Watching my fellow peers, each day during rehearsal

    Oxford dictionary defines the word “play” in relation to theatre as “a dramatic composition which is represented or performed in a theatrical performance or film” .

    The decisions made in the preparation and production of my dramatization clearly reflect my critical understanding of the text. When brainstorming ideas for how a to incorporate the elements of a game show into my dramatization, I struggled with the idea of how a game show does not actively show fate vs free will or ambition leading to a tragic flaw despite the fact that many of these things may happen off camera. Fate is represented with a predetermined winner, and often overly ambitions characters are punished by the shows producers. However, none of this is shown to to viewer of the game show.
