Drama Part 1 Essay

The piece of Drama we have cre consumed is called The business of the Unknown. We looked at mixed ways of interpreting the title before agreeing on a fit theme. Our tommyrot covers the death of a character and studies the reactions of characters in different situations. The true cause of death is left to the imagination and is never actually mentioned. This cogitate in with the title we were given. I am going to compare The precaution of the unknown with the mutation The Woman in low-spirited by Susan hillock and adapted by Steven Mallatratt.I will also use the melting pot text by Arthur Miller and Blue Remembered Hills text. In the Woman in Black as the actor approaches the house a gobo is shown to show Eel marsh house in the background. The house seems large and foreboding. This helps create an air of skepticism with the audience who already have heard about the woman in black. This happens again when the actor approaches the door to the playroom whilst the music plays. Similarly, the actors in The Fear of the unknown create tension whilst approaching the house by lecture quietly and discuss the house in their ghost story.The execration of the Woman in Black is similar to the curse placed on the house where a girl died many years ago. Many early(a) plenty tell the story of the woman in black. The actor isnt superstitious so ignores them. He is lucky to escape with his life. In the worship of the unknown Stacey warns Sadie about the curse in the house where the girl died, Sadie believes the story plainly then still goes in the house, and doesnt return. This could also be compared to in the Crucible where the suspicion of witchcraft underlies everything. In the beginning of the play many people didnt even have suspicion of witches.though the idea there were witches living within a community ate away at the people until people died. Many innocent people poleed up hanging for witchcraft. The imagination of characters in the play we performed a dded to the tension created. This occurred frequently during the piece, for example when Charlie and Sadie appear at the door to Staceys company Stacey looks Sadie up and down. Sadie is instantly terrified of Stacey even though this is normal deportment in her characters case. The same thing happens in Blue Remembered Hills when the siren goes to direct that a prisoner of war has escaped.Every noise sounds like the war prisoner approaching them and all the children believe the prisoner of war would cancel out them. You can also compare it to the Crucible where everyone suspects everyone else to be witches, and everyone turns on everybody else make more havoc. To some extent this also happens in The Woman in Black as the actor is met by suspicious and hostile reactions when he attends the ladies funeral. Also everybody in the village believes in The Woman in Black and her terrible curse, this means all the characters would be on edge.In conclusion, I think our drama performance w ent well, our preparation could have been better but we all had different school activities on, which made it hard to rehearse. Near to the end of our rehearsals we threw one member of our cast out. This put us at a disadvantage but meant we worked better as a group in the end as we were all striving for a common goal. Our legitimate ideas included Bullying and the consequences of bullying, Relationships, and problems that could never be solved. We decided to work on the events leading up to an unnecessary death.
