Summer Of The Seventeenth Doll Play Analysis

The technical aspects of the production such as scenery, properties and costumes also played a keynote in the productions success. The scenery was fabulous it truly made the play. It was very realistic and extremely vibrant. Almost the entire play was performed in one setting, except for the railcar and dance scenes. The house, the main setting, was magnificent with painstakingly placed detail in every corner. All elements in the house matched wonderfully, for example the furniture, the photos on the wall, the telephone and even the trash can. Little bits of detail were everywhere adding to the beautification of the set, for example the lace decorations on the chairs, the etched glass above the front door and even the Christmas tree.

This year marks the 60th anniversary since the premier show of “summer of the 17th Doll”, and the State theatre company’s immersive and compelling illustration of typical suburban dystopia does not disappoint. The exciting saga of the touch and go relationships between two working-class barmaids and their cane-cutting lovers, who have come down south for the off-season, is met by an equally charismatic cast that allows the director (Geordie Brookman) to fully explore the notion of 1950s stereotypes and the chaos that ensues when they are broken.

Watching the play to kill a Mockingbird was a wonderful production that captures the audience attention. A playwright is a person who writes plays for that stage and also they create scripts that tell stories through the words and action of characters. Most of the playwright’s people work alone and some of the time they share the work of creating script with the actors and directors.

Our society’s gender roles are constantly evolving and changing, all in the name of “progressive thinking”, though not all for the good. With a new “social norm” appearing every few years or so, it comes as a surprise that it

The design elements of the play allowed for more depth in the telling of the story, blocky levels helping as a visual indicator of the social structure of the time period or even emotions being played. The foreground and living room allowed for the retro furniture to set the period whilst also allowing it to be bare enough to evoke a feeling of hollowness. When either Noah or his father separated to either sides of the home, to the office and his bedroom it created a nice parallel and

This set design is of the play, Annie. This play is about a young orphan girl in New York City who lives in a miserable orphanage striving to find her parents, but through this an opportunity arises with the Warbucks family. The scene in this set design is the orphanage Annie lived in with other orphan girls. The space is clearly confined, with the space of the children and the office of Miss Hannigan, the woman who runs the orphanage, being very separate. This extensive distance between the two rooms, Hannigan’s office drastically to the left and the room for the orphans on the opposite side, suggest a tense and negative relationship. Furthermore, by having several beds stuffed into one room displays an uncomfortable lifestyle and that the

This act is set in the Antrobus home after deadly war, so I found it rather refreshing that all the set pieces were in different places than in act one, potentially due to the house being looted. I was therefore able to focus more on each individual piece of furniture. The main couch, for example, has history and pattern sewn into its seams and uniquely parallels the unique members of the Antrobus family. Additional interaction with the set, when Mrs. A tells Sabrina to fix the house. stood out. Great teamwork across the cast and crew was seemed to support the play’s ability to grasp the attention of its viewers, for all of the kinks with the set (e.g. the door being left over) were solved by the director for opening night.

The Little Shop of Horrors play was a great experience. The set was seemed professional and could fall for a Broadway set. The props, such as the plant, was very intriguing to watch. Also, the storyline was interesting. The turn of events kept the audience’s attention and gave an overall lesson in life.

As act I of “A Doll’s House” begins, the scene is set to impress the audience “with vivid descriptions of a room “furnished with taste, but nothing too extravagant”. (Ibsen) The first to enter is Nora. Nora walks in with her arms full of bags after shopping, and her husband, Torvald calls from another room to make sure it is her he hears coming through the door. Torvald sets limits on Nora’s spending; he treats her as both a child and a doll. The way in which the characters in the play treat, and react to one another, shows the selfish intentions in which the expectations of society hold of them.

The play was performed on a proscenium stage, but the stage was not raised. The audience had raked seating so there was no problem watching the actors on stage. The scenes were very basic. The play began with a large wooden cart in the middle of the stage and throughout the play it transformed into a bedroom and smaller stage. Two females were responsible for making adjustments to the stage in-between scenes. If the entire wooden centerpiece had to be moved all of the actors rotated it together. The production used a gobo which created a sky background for the scenes that took place outside. The scenic changes helped the flow of the production because it marked the different settings, days, and inciting incidents. The set served the action
