Common Ground Season

I did a big review on 13 but I would also like to talk about the other two plays I went to see.

Our Country's Good

I really enjoyed this play because it was exciting and interesting to watch. The acting was amazing because they were able to keep their characters throughout and I felt that the audience connected to their character. I really felt close to the slaves because they made the audience feel sorry for them by getting to know their characters better. I also liked that their were some funny elements to the play because it made it more enjoyable.

I especially liked the soldier that was drunk, he kept his character throughout the play and was very believable even though he didn't have many lines. Compared to the other plays I didn't like this one as much as the other two because I found that the scenes between the soldiers were lacking energy and I began to loose focus because the scene wasn't a chase scene.


100 Years

100 Years was the last play I went to see and it was a piece made up by the students. I really enjoyed the piece because it made me feel emotional and connected to all the character.

The beginning of the piece was really effective because it showed how people have different opinions about the war and how we can learn from each other. I really liked the pub scene because it showed a funnier side to the war and made me laugh. I also liked he bit where there were partners together and it showed how war effected them and their relationships.

The movement was all in unison during the soldier march and it made me realise how many people were involved in the war and how so many people died for our country. Finally I really liked the part when all the women were reading their letters and dancing with the jackets because it really showed the audience that many people lost their husbands and it showed how difficult it was.

The sound and lighting was really affective setting the atmosphere and all the movement performed was clean and exciting to watch.
