Basic Overview Of Phoenix Plays

By Ida Dorsey


A play is a piece to be played during a theatrical performance, mostly written according to rules of dramatic literature. For this purpose, the text consists mainly of dialogues between the characters, and, where appropriate, information on the staging (Phoenix plays). This is in addition to stage directions: setting, geographical location, light and sound environment, movement of characters (with borderline cases because some parts are made without verbal dialogue, eg Acts without Words by Samuel Beckett).

Interpreters of play are the actors; in modern theater the role of director is also important. Indeed, according to interpretation of text he wants to communicate to public, it takes (or sometimes does not resume ...) indications of staging written by the author, and added to his lead the actors.

In a broad sense is a storyline and made for the stage performance. It can be verbal text (every piece of literature that includes parts recited or sung), or improvised by an actor, or in form of non-verbal narration, through gestures or dance. The period drama, if understood strictly, applies only to plays written. In opera, it usually occurs at the end of booklet.

The liturgical drama is closely related to ritual is recited in Latin by priests who support the most diverse parts and change identity not through customs or physical transformations, as through a stylized exterior. In figure of priest-actor believers contemplate the coveted anticipation of coming of Christ on earth.

The liturgical drama, as opposed to classical one, does not adopt the criterion of three Aristotelian unities and is expressed in better shape pictorial representation. If the classical drama staged one done in a linear and in one place, the drama follows the medieval against the hero in all of its age: it is represented, for example, the time when Jesus resurrected Lazarus, but throughout the life of protagonist. Necessarily the scene becomes multiple, created by different scenes aligned and separated from each other by a compartment: the so-called "appointed places."

In eighteenth century, one sees a variety of comedies. Still exist comedy of intrigue and comedy of manners, such as The Game of Love and Chance Island or slaves Marivaux, but social criticism becomes more vigorous, as in Barber of Seville and The Marriage Figaro by Beaumarchais, works in which he openly criticized the aristocracy. Also appear tearful comedy, then the bourgeois drama, playing on emotion and sensitivity of spectators.

They are representations of an occasional nature, consisting of pseudo-ecclesiastical procession led by a boy dressed as a bishop; The procession from the church up to episcopate, in which the clergy and / or the true bishop blessed are fit and ridiculous parody. The bourgeois drama is a theatrical composition representing the characters of small and middle-class or wealthy classes citizens but do not belong to nobility, and describes his daily life, the trials and tribulations, aspirations. It developed in eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Theatre, sometimes drama or spectacle, is a type of performing art, which aims to act, talk, produce or display stories, ideas or feelings to an audience. This is usually done through dialogue, namely speech and gestures between the different characters, played, or acted by actors. They must be able to express alternative personalities, ages, voices, sex, and body postures.
