In the woods play

I attended the performance of the play “into the woods” and learnt a lot of things. I could also relate more than one of the things that we learnt in class. The manner in which the play was presented showed a lot of things about the characters in the play. The actors had the tips on how to act and could be trusted to produce the best show. The paper will look at the manner in which the production was carried out. It will also look at the places where they could have missed out and finally be able to make a verdict whether the play was worth watching. The play was performed by a local theatre group that has been staging plays for the last ten years. The group has people with skills and ability to perform any type of play given that their director has the ability to mobilize them to produce the best results.

In the play, the artists were trying to showcase what was going on in the play. As it is known, acting can be of great help to literature students to try and get what the play is talking about in the best way. It is believed that this is true because one will always remember the things that they see more than those that they read. The actors put on costumes that matched different situations within the play. At any given time, one could possibly see the relationship between the costumes that the actors put on and the situation that they were trying to create. It is also possible to see the problems that the actors went through to bring out the picture that should be brought out as it is written in the book. The script has to be acted in the manner in which it is presented in the book if one deviates from the script then it might not be easy to bring out the themes and characters properly. The cast was properly acted and the actors achieved what the author wanted. The only problem that they had at certain stages of the play is that they did not have enough equipment to be able to bring out the picture which should be brought out. Most people pointed out that they are actors who can perform to their level best if they have all the equipment they need. It I also important that they ensure they have different costumes for different stages of the play. It is not possible to act different parts of the play using the same costumes. One can feel that at certain points in the play, the costumes did not really match the situation that was supposed to be shown.

According to me, the artists succeeded in displaying what the audience wanted. After the play, the critique of the audience was mainly based on the equipment and not the performance of the artists. It is therefore evident that they did their level best even if they did not enough equipment to carry out the play to the best of their levels. Different artists playing different parts had the ability to use different elements of acting to bring out what the audience really wanted to see. One could feel the inclusion of emotions in the process. It is not always possible to provoke emotions in displaying plays because it requires special skills that not every artist might have. In this case, the artists were able to bring out the emotions that the author of the play really wanted to have when writing the play. It was also possible to see the transition of the play from one part to the other. One could possible see how the different parts of the play were related and if it was possible that they could get the themes they were looking for. It is always important that when one goes to watch a play they also ensure that they look out for the themes that they noted when reading the play. It was possible to see different styles, themes and expressions that were used in the play. By watching the play, it was also possible to see other themes and styles that one did not see when reading the play on their own. I can confirm that the performance was way above my expectation and that the artists did well.

Overall, I can confirm that the play was worth watching. The play helped me to match some of the themes that I noted when reading the play. The play brought out the themes in the manner in which they should brought out. The performance was exemplary and the audience confirmed that they will surely attend another performance that will be staged by the group. Most people also confirmed that it was a performance that made them love the play. When reading the play, it is not possible to point out some of the things but once you watch the performance you will see the parts that you did not understand well. Just like any other form of literature work, it is possible to point out the styles that have been used when coming up with the play. The cast was of great help to me in trying to understand what the play was all about and whether it was worth watching. The play really opened my eyes to other styles that I did not see when reading it on my own. I also noted other themes that were clearly brought out by the group that staged the play.
