515 Words3 Pages

Twisted Tales from Shakespeare by Richard Armour, theatricalized by Rhett Bryson, fully committed to the grotesque, the outrageous, and the attempt of the Actor characters to tell the stories clearly. The cast’s commitment to these tasks were what made the ensemble complete and made them seem as if they were in the same world. Twisted Tales, much like in Shakespeare’s plays, had groups of characters that behaved in certain ways physically and vocally; these groups were the Professors and the Actors.

    For instance, Mitch and Nat are both the male leads who take charge in the life altering events, however, it seems that the stories persona switches from the lead of Mitch to Melony. This is when the attention in the story follows one character, but naturally fades back and forth between Mitch and Melony.

    William Shakespeare The 16th century seemed like a world far different from modern day society. Royal families took place of authority, astronomers were still discovering the mysteries of outer space, and medical needs were critically lacking, making for a harsh century to live in. Under the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st, the commoners would abide by rules that controlled how they lived and interacted. As part of a social order, upperclassmen would wear grand dresses and robes filled with bright colors and made from high tier materials such as silk, velvet, and satin. On the other hand, lowerclassmen would wear shorts and shirts made out of materials that were not so elegant, such as wool, cotton, and leather.
