The Bouncers Essay Example

attractive enough. Elaine is the girl who has harly any education and is a bit slutty. Suzy is the more quiet girl and is the goody goody of the four. Rosie is the one who is more positive about things and is always on top.

Maureen is the more quiet but wiser of the tree ladies but is also cautious. My favourite character was Les also acting Maureen. I liked him because he managed to change character so quickly and effectively incomparison to the other four who took a bit of time to get used to the character they had to play. He made it clear of the type of character he was playing and showed this by using his vocal accent, body language and facial expressions, which is why I think he was the most successful character and the most enjoyable character to watch.

The character I found the least successful was Judd as the characters he played weren't as clear to understand and took a bit of time to know what their roles were. Although he used body language well, I found he had difficulty to change his voice to suit the character. For example when he was acting the hair dresser, he acted well with the other characters but his voice was not suitable with the body language he was using and you could say, he was a stereotype hair dresser.

The set was not hidden behind a curtain because I feel the director wanted us, the audience to use our imagination and imagine the set. There were clues to help the audience know where the characters were but not in set or props but

in lights and actions used by the actors. This was important to the play as we were easily able to figure out what was going on and where so we didn't have to think about it and maybe miss an important bit in the play.

For example when the lads were going from the night club itself, to the toilets for a a piss call, they brightened the lights and faded the music to give it more of a feeling that they were in the toilet and not outside. I thoroughly enjoyed the play 'The Bouncers', as it was entertaining to watch because it was funny with an excellent story line and also it was learn how good and enjoyable you can make a play by using very few actors, very few props and fantastic use of lights.

I haven't really got a favourite moment in the play as it was all so good but i guess I enjoyed myself when they were in the toilets just before leaving the night club as it was hilarious to observe. My favourite actor was the one acting Les as he suited the play and the characters very well. Even though I enjoyed the entire play, the bit I never really liked was when Eric, the 'Bouncer', was always giving his speaches as it got borin after a while and us, the audience were expecting a joke to just pop out of the speach, and we were disappointed when there wasn't as the whole play was funny until it got to Eric's speaches.

I don't think I can give any advice to the director or actors apart from either making Eric's

speaches funier or putting a bit more emotion towards it, meaning telling us vocally, that it is a seriuos speach. I think I would reccommend the play, and infact I already have, as it was a brilliant play overall and it shows what you can do with a very good director, excellent actors, very few props and first-class use of lighting.
