Noises Off was an interesting movie to watch because it felt like I was watching a stage play the entire time rather than a movie about a stage play.  It was as if the play-within-a-play never stopped, but rather continued into the reality of the cast and crew rehearsing the play.  As in a comedic…

Last week, I went to a jazz fusion show at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta, Georgia.  The band was named Red Giant, and they are a fairly young band based in Atlanta. I have never been to a full-length jazz show, just a few sporadic single performances at open mic nights and school performances, so…

The first thing I noticed when I started to read the script to “Inherit the Wind” was that the script does not only contain the dialogues was each characters but also contains the concept and ambiance of the act. Its purpose I’m sure is to aid actors but it also helped me feel the atmosphere…

Anthony Keith Movie Response #1: Noises Off Noises Off was short of awesome, a few steps trailing great, but was an inarguable contender for a consistent very good; I would certainly watch it again and look for the subtle details I may have missed on first watch. Noises Off has a humoring charm, and is…

The play was published in 1955 during the age of…

Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee has an intriguing plot that focuses a court case involving a curious teacher just trying to do his job. He is not a criminal, but in his town, his ideas are considered blasphemy and the townspeople want him silenced. The town is an integral part…

Noises Off is a farce about the onstage and offstage events of a play called Nothing On. This “play within the play” is supposed to be a comedy, but has second-rate actors and many theatrical mishaps. The actors’ personal issues backstage augment the zaniness of the production. In the end, both Noises Off and Nothing…

Thus, my prior knowledge of tragedies is limited, but nonetheless, I found the play to be captivating and complex. I found it interesting that the protagonist of the play, Medea, was not necessarily easy to relate to in her actions…
