i hope we never get to THAT point of sucking! jajaja
well...
i thought the idea of the three scenarios being completely different from each other was good, and that as the play evolves they started to get mixed and worked with each other. The theme of the part of the "english" ladies was dumb. That whole story evolved around the fact that some people had stolen the tea time (5 o'clock). The characters in that story were two sister which i don't remember their names... The older sister was the one hysterical about the tea time being stolen and the younger sister was the one that didn't care about a thing about the tea time and was a naive lover. In the second scenery there were two characters also, a man and a woman, the woman was the captain and the man was the man in charge on the boat. They were suposed to be sailing. The captain was lesbian. They didn't want to be heroes, that why they didn't want to go back to their land.
The third scenery was with two actors too. A man and his wife. The wife was stupid and "good" and the husband abused her.
The story gets all mixed up and messy in a way. The naive "english girl" fell in love with the helper of the captain, the helper of the captain was in love with the captain, the captain (who was a woman) fell in love with "dulcinea", the stupid wife of the agressive man from the third scene and the agressive man fell in love with the hysterical sister from the "english girls"
I personally didn't like the fact that the captain, who was a woman, fell in love with another girl. I don't have any judge against homosexual relationships, but i think that what they did showed in the play a little bit too much, i found it uncomfortable and disgusting.
One of the things I did found good in the play was that the actors made in some point interaction with the audience, they sat in between the audience.
Then something i didn't like at all was the fact that when the "english" sisters were having tea, they were not using anything!!! It was like they didn't have time to prepare it properly or something... Then, the older sister had the wig bad arranged... I could see her dark hair popping out of the wig!
in conclusion the play was awful.
Could it had been better if our perspective and expectation would have been low?
more analysis is needed to support your perceptions
ReplyDeletewhat does this play make you think about (apart from going to the toilet)? you have to try and blog what you learnt from every experience, and relate it to your own process.
