Until the last few scenes as the flood is happening, the sky should turn dark almost black. The only sound effect needed is when the flood happens. The sound of the rain coming down pouring and water from the lake is splashing creating waves causing the kayak to move and rock a lot. In the campus dorm scenes where Peter and Annie meet Julie should be filled with other college students. There will be people moving in, preparing for school, meeting new friends and roommates. There can be a big sign to show students where to go to participate in the campus tour. Since Julie is very big about spreading the news of protesting events and such, I see her near the news board a lot where she can hang up flyers. The board will be outside of the entrance of the campus where all the news and updates will be posted. The tone of the play is very realistic. The actors are portraying characters that resemble the way people behave in everyday life. There are some strong languages and mild adults themes in the
39 Steps is a play that's a comedic spoof of The 39 Steps film. The play is currently playing at the Union Square Theater and this is the first time that I have ever seen a play in my life and it was a one of a kind experience. With its 4 actors playing over 150 roles is a play that's quick and fast paced for the one that enjoy it. The purpose of the playwright is to use quick changing scenes to be a comedic spoof. It uses satire to overexaggerate a majority of the scenes in the play.
My brother, Bing, was lost to us many years ago, when he was only four years old, and I was around the age of Connie at her death. A lack of supervision led to his tragic drowning on a reef, and we mourned him dearly. His inability to save himself reflects poor Connie’s, as she was manipulated and helpless when Arnold Friend confronted her. The misery of losing someone so young and innocent to circumstances out of the child’s control is indescribable. I can see the heartbreak we felt then, reflected in the eyes of Connie’s family and friends, and I know that she meant a great deal to each and every person gathered
The 1920’s mobster theme creates a sort of eerie a mysterious mood for the play. Taking place mostly at night under street lamps at the end of a suspicious alley, the tone is rather ominous. The mobsters add to
In this short essay you will read about, the comparison between the play “Antigone” and “Erin Brockovich.” Antigone is a play based on the death and burial of Antigone’s brother Polyneices.

The play provides both comedic and mournful moments. In the end of the play, it is deeply revealing of the powerful bond the women share. Robert Harling uses conflict, mood, tone, and characters to portray this. The title suggest that women are delicate like
1. Mr. Burns presents a unique take on the field of acting. During the first act, there was a closed off and often quiet tone to the play. The characters are all spaced out and separated even as their common conversation is being given. The only time they come closer together figuratively and literally is when they’re feeling threatened.
Your parents are always telling you to do do the right thing, aren't they? Priscilla Cummings did not miss the opportunity to convey the same message. In The Red Kayak, Priscilla Cummings is trying to show that doing the right thing, no matter the consequences is always the correct path to take. In this paper, I will give a few examples of why I think the theme in the story is to always do the right thing. These examples are that Brady had the choice to call out to the kayak, the scene with Digger and J.T. in court, and I will show you this in a more philosophical way.

In the tragic play Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett uses juxtaposition to develop a comparison between two contrasting concepts and characters such as the themes of tragedy and comedy as well as the characters Vladimir, Estragon, Pozzo, and Lucky. This comparison supports and controls the pacing of the play, as well as accentuating the essential elements in human conditions during 1948, such as, the difficulty in establishing any sort of close relations between people and also the kind of status and situation people were in, mentally and physically during that time as WW2 just ended, and also allowed to readers to have a wider range of perspectives by not making any definite conclusions and offering an opened ending in act 1.
