Writing Homework Help

Romeo and Juliet Globe Theatre Production Review Discussion

 

I need an explanation for this Writing question to help me study.

See one of the following theatre productions. This would usually be a current professional production which is currently impossible. Luckily, theatres are making videos of their productions available during this weird isolation time. I suggest you watch the first five minutes or so of each production and see what grabs your interest to watch in its entirety.

I watched this one this morning and think it is great – especially for women. I highly recommend it and hope to direct it soon!

(Evan Placey’s hit 2014 play heads to the virtual world. It follows a group of schoolgirls reacting as one of their peers has naked photos of themselves leaked online)

Here are some Shakespeare options:

(Romeo and Juliet produced at the Globe theatre)

(a very interesting BIPOC/female-centered production of Richard II)

You are to write a review of the production that you see. The review should be at least 300 words. It must cover acting ( at least one performer), some aspect of design work (set, costumes, lighting, sound), and your overall reaction to the piece. You may also choose to comment on the text of the script but this review should concentrate on the theatre aspect and not the literary aspect. This review should not need any outside source but of course, should you use one you must credit that source. A plot summary is not necessary and should not be included,

Your review must contain specific references to the theatre production to support your opinions.
