Fairytale Dream

Almost every child dreams to fly, and almost every girl dreams that one day she can be a princess. People love fairytales, because they give us a chance to dream. Peter Pan was a fairytale that was about fairytale. Most people have watched the Disney version of Peter Pan, but yesterday’s play was the original version. The actors’ professional acting impressed me, but the stage actually was not as good as other things. 

Firstly, some of the designs were so clever, and the actors were so skillfu. Before I went to the show, I already knew this Peter Pan was not the Disney Peter Pan, and I was so curious about this original version. How could it be possible to fly in Black box? Actually, the actors did not have to fly, instead, they jumped to the backstage. This was smart, but this also required more acting skills. The actors must act extremely professional to make the audience believe they were truly flying, and Wiebke, Amalia, Maddy, and Erin did a really good job. Also, Charlotte literally surprised me. Her acting was detailed and real. At the beginning of the play, she was walking around and tidying up the house. The way she swept flicked the cupboard made me believe she was really the mistress. Consequently, the actors’ excellent performance was one of the most important reasons of why this show was successful. 

Secondly, even though some of the stagings were smart, the facilities in Black Box was a little flaw. When I was watching the play, I noticed that when the settings changed, the stage crews just covered the cupboard and the window by some simple decorations. To be honest, I do not think this worked well. The audience still recognized everything, and this made the stage messier. However, if Black Box was bigger, we could have some curtains which would separate the different settings. Even if the facilities were not perfect, the show was still an excellent play. 

In conclusion, after I performed Romeo and Juliet, I understood how hard it is to be a good actor. When I watched the play, I was truly impressed by those actors. However, if Black Box becomes bigger, the show will be better.
