Project #2: Angels in America: Part I: Millenium Approaches

1) Pre-Broadway Stage Production
On Stage, and Off
By Bruce Weber on December 4, 1992.

“‘It was one of the nastiest letters I ever received,’ said Mr. Weitzenhoffer, who has not been to a board meeting since June and said he has been considering resigning from the board altogether.”
It is clear to see that within this performance certain issues are brought about that are quite controversial. Decisions with the financial realm are linked in every way to mainly show the reality. Always and forever the show must go on so it would be to a greater benefit to develop professionalism.

2) Original Broadway Production
THEATER; Taking 'Angels in America' to Storrs
By Alvin Klein on September 26, 1999.

“It is simply that ''Angels'' encompasses both the intimate and the epic, and an emphasis on showiness, bravado and bluster -- the Broadway production was so emphasized, not to mention the hype and the street brouhaha -- throws it out of whack.”

3) Non-NYC-Based Professional Production
Theater: Angels In America. Part One: Millennium Approaches

“This stunning production with its minimalist set and technical constraints is a testament to those smaller theatres that surprise us with such sophisticated ingenuity.”

No matter the play it is a difficult decision to enter a show when it is surrounded with controversy. High hopes can often lead to a disaster in every circumstance. These type of shows though grab the attention of someone somewhere.

4) College Production
K-College theater hits most notes of 'Angels in America' just right
By Mark Wedel on May 16, 2008.

“So much could go wrong, but aside from an embarrassing collision of a sliding wall into a prop desk, the cast and crew smoothly navigated the complex script.”

Drama in this case is an understanding of many things. While most people like regular, normal, up beat shows at least to this degree Angels shines a different light. Lots could very well go wrong while the right is right behind ready to take lead.

5) HBO Mini-Series
Discomfort Cohn

“Gasparinetti's three-tiered stage platform allows for three acting zones, most effectively used to juggle multiple scenes: actors from one scene freeze while another scene ‘goes live.’”

The contradiction of language is hard to grasp as well as contradicting. Each character sets up something unique for not only themselves but as well as others. The Aids ideal is unbelievably significant for filling out the enlightened show.

IN THE BEGINNING-15TH CENTURY MYSTERY PLAY

IN THE BEGINNING

WWW.WIKIPIDIA.ORG

"There is no complete formal definition of tragicomedy from the classical age. It appears that Aristotle had something like the Renaissance meaning of the term (that is, a serious action with a happy ending) in mind when, in Poetics, he discusses tragedy with a dual ending. In this respect, a number of Greek and Roman plays, for instance Alcestis, may be called tragicomedies, though without any definite attributes outside of plot. The term itself originates with Plautus: the prologue to Amphitryon uses the term to justify the play's bringing gods into a predominantly bourgeois play."

"Why is everybody here killing each other?"

"The world doesn't care"

Throughout my reading it became quite clear that both quotes truly play an important role in what is trying to be accomplished as well as at the same time shinning a light of the overal general theme- Kass

DEMETRIUS Wilt thou betray thy noble mistress thus?

AARON My mistress is my mistress; this myself,The vigour and the picture of my youth:This before all the world do I prefer;This maugre all the world will I keep safe,Or some of you shall smoke for it in Rome.

for, as the old hermit of Prague, that never saw pen and ink, very wittily said to a niece of King Gorboduc, 'That that is is; 'so I, being Master Parson, am Master Parson; for, what is 'that' but 'that,' and 'is' but 'is'?
