A play which is NOT a play

Okay... so I've basically been deciding that at least I wasn't going to watch any more plays with RR and the Drama IB group because basically we've been watching awful plays lately, and I'm really starting to piss off about it. I know it isn't RR's fault because he tries to take us to good plays, but seriously I've felt very disappointed lately so I think we can just give it a sabatical for a while on watching plays, because it isn't the third month yet and already we've watched three badly made plays. It really starts to piss off, but of course there's nothing I can do but obey... shame. :(

Anyhow, that is not the reason why I wanted (rather more MUST) to write this blog, I just wanted to continue the 'What not to do in Theatre guide'. ¬¬

I will just focus on some weak points because I am AGAINST this particular blog...

One of the things that made me feel unnerved was the over usage of bad words and the over exaggeration of the acting. They might have been a little bit connected with their characters, but it is not normal to use a thousand bad words per word. Esencially, their characters were very over-acted out. To use correct pronounciation and volume they yelled every one of their words, cutting out the good representation.

Something else was the links of stories, it was very confusing. It went from a Jack Sparrow-like female pirate, to a woman watching a movie in 3D while her sister complains about how she is British-born and have been stolen 5pm out of her life, to a married couple where the man domestically abuses his wife and she is a dumb, lost person. Did you get any of that? Us neither. This I consider a very bad lack of structure in direction. It could have improved with a story less intricate, something easy that the director could work with so it wasn't a failure.

A third thing that they lacked was their verse speech. They could have a bigger work with it, and focus on the stressed syllables, and all those different skills we've been learning in Spanish Golden Age Theatre studies. For instance, what they did do good was that the verses weren't being recited but looked as if they were in prose, but they could have actually worked out this better.

Well, really I have nothing left to say but I really want to ask one thing, were all the plays I've seen these past years as bad as these late ones, just that I hadn't realized it because I didn't deeply analyse them?
