* From reading the find why do you return its so popular?* What dramatic devices and theatrical techniques does he use that arrive it such an enjoyable show?Going to the firm is different from reading a book because in the theatre the play is live. In the theatre you stub interpret emotion on the actors faces, theres in like manner the medicinal drug and the inflammations, and you can see the body expression of the actors and their reactions. In a book you have to use your belief and you can be wrong in some points. There is nothing like going to the theatre its a unique experience because you have to share the pay with the rest of the audience its like at home when youre sitting on a sofa. In a theatre the atmosphere is different because of the lighting effects and the music but also because of the rest of the audience with who you share a play but also feelings and emotions. In the theatre you can empathise with the characters. I think that going to the theatre is a rea lly unique experience because sitting with a lot of people and to have a selfsame(prenominal) feeling and a same emotion its a bit funny but also exciting. tear Brother is about twins who are separate at birth. They grew up at friends and they didnt fuck that theyre brothers until the solar day of their death. This play is a musical and a black comedy, its not erect a comedy its also a tragedy as well, and this is what we call a tragic-comedy. This play is an enjoyable and interesting show because Willy Russell duologue about dividees, friendship, puzzleth, love.In this play, my favourite characters are Eddie and Linda. I like them because Linda represent the feminism, by that I designate that in the play shes changing, shes becoming a women and the audience can follow her in her growth Ive got stiff all over me shoes. She acts like a teenage girl not like a young girl like she used to be. I empathise with Linda because its like seeing me growing unless for the children t hat shes going to have And Eddie because hes really posh and doesnt know anything Eddie Why? paddy field Because if Sammy gives us a amiable hes actually weed on it first.Eddie It sounds like super funHe sounds stupid but hopefully Linda and paddy field are there for him.Willy Russell can execute tension on stage by victimization the lighting effects which go with the emotions. E.g. When its a tense place setting the lights go red. He can create atmosphere and mood by using lights but also with what the narrator is avering So did you ever hear the tale of the Jonhston twinsBring on the mother let the story begin. His language helps to create an atmosphere its usually dark and sinister The Devils in the backyard, he can seeNo you wont, no youll never get away from him.Willy Russell makes the audience involved by using dramatic mockery which occrus when the audience is given information which the characters do not have, like at the very beginning of the scene when the audience know about the twins separation but the twins dont know. Another example of dramatic sarcasm is when Eddie gives a job to rice paddy but Mickey doesnt know about it that make the audience feels horror-struck he will findout because we know hell be angry. One of the dramatic moment is when Eddie came back from University, hes rich and doesnt know about works to feed a family, on the contrary Mickey has to work for Linda and him, hes poor and his married woman is pregnant. just now Eddie doesnt understand why its so important for Mickey to work, because he has already got what he wants, he would be staring at Mickey with an innocent face and talk with a posh express Eddie Why is a job so important? If I couldnt get a job Id just say sod it and draw the dole, like a bohemian, tilt my hat to the world and say turn in you. So youre not working. Why is it so important?. The other dramatic moment is when Eddie is talking with Mrs Johnston I think that theres lot of emotion in that sc ene because the audience is surprised and then happy because Mrs Johnston and her give-and-take Eddie are finally together, in time if its not for a long time.I think that its really poignant because Mrs Johnston let him act like her child and dont try to make him go away She takes him, cradles him to her, letting him exclaim. The most touching moment in that play in my opinion, is when Eddie comes to Mrs Johnstons house to tell Mickeythat hes going to move. I think that in this scene theres lot of feelings, because that 7 years old boy coming to say bye to his Blood Brother, but also the way Mrs Johnston reacts is amazing and natural, the audience can feel that even if her son is not next to her day after day, she still loves him a lot. She talks to him, and she tries to keep twain of her twins safe.In this play, Willy Russell is talking about ordinary people from Britain, is trying to show that adolescent grow all differently with different past, present and future. Our futur e is different because of our education, parents money but also friendship and love. He explores the superstiton with Mrs Johnston, the mother who is in this play a superstitious person Oh God. Never put unsanded shoes on a table, Mrs Lyons. You never know whatll happen..He also thinks that the British system class is unfair because if you pay attention to the kids even if they come from diffenrent classes they play together because kids are just kids Mickey is not really old but he is working really hard to have a house, to grow his kids and have a decent life, while Eddie has got his dads job at the factory whitout doing anything. This is how money and classes can make peoples life change. He thinks that superstition isnt a good thing, he plays with the fact that Mrs Johnston is superstitious. Mickey represents the working class and Eddie represents the Upper Middle mannequin. And when Mickey is holding a gun, ready to shot Eddie its like a threat to the Upper Middle Classpeople . And when Eddie gave a job to Mickey is to prove how the Upper Middle Class is influential Linda Oh. Are you? The Chairman?Eddie Nodding, laughing You look very funny sitting there you know. Dont you think youd better come into my office? He offers his hand, she takes it, gets up nad follows him Now whats the problem? They enter an office Eddie reaplacing knell Now? Wheres the problem? You can move in next week. SmilesLinda Eddie. Thanks Eddie, weve been trying to get travel for five years. You fix it up in five minutesEddie Exctly. You should have asked me earlier.One of the moment who do me think is when Mickey is talking about growing Mickey NO I dont wantyour money. Stuff it. Mickey watches as Eddie turns and picks up the notes Eddie standing and looking at him Eddie, do me a favour will you? construct off.Eddie Pause I thought I thought we always stuck together. I thought we were blood brothers.Mickey That was kids stuff, Eddie, didnt anyone tell you? Pause Mickey looking a t him. An ironic snort But I bet you still are a kid arent you?Eddie Im exactly the same age as you.Mickey Yeh. But youre still a kid. I wish I could still be that as well, Eddie and believe in all that bloddbrother stuff. But I cant. Because while no one was looking, I grew up. And you didnt. Because you didnt need to. I dont whack you for it Eddie. If I was in your shoes Id be the sae. But Im these shoes, looking at you. And you make me sick refine? That was all just kids stuff, Eddie, and I dont want to be reminded of it. Right? So just, take yourself away. Go and see your friends and celebrate with them. Pause Go on beat it before I hit you.Eddie looks and then tardily backs awayHe communivates his feelings and this is why its so moving and an important moment. Then theres the music which add the solid ground atmosphere.I think that this play is the best Ive ever read, everyone can read it and even if your learning slope its quite easy. This play explores life, the reason why this play is fantastic its becase its talking about everything. This play is lovely but aso really interesting, theres always something hapening and the characters are all nice in their own way.Theres also a politic idea in that play, because the boys life are totally different and you can see it by the way theyre growing. We can find loads of emotions. Willy Russell uses humour by what the characters are saying, he puts two bighearted men dressed inchildrens clothes to play the role of 7 years old kids which are acting cowboys and indians. This play is very impressive, fun and pleasing. I really liked it and fully understand why its such a sucess on the London stage.
