DRAMA 500 WORD ESSAY

We used 3 drama pieces they were, Oh what a lovely war, the final scene of the television series BlackAdder and an improvised play based on a western theme. In Oh what a lovely wae there was a group of soldiers who were recieving their orders at a military post from the Captain. They are told that they have to go back to their place of civilian domicile and eliminate one child under the age of 5. They are afraqid that ordinary civilians will dislike them for this. In the western improvised piece of Drama the 'main' characters were more of the freeloader type they did not have a place of permanent abode. They are planning to rob a bank in the play with the help of a 'dumb' criminal that they hired. Our other piece of Drama the scripted piece, Blackadder all of the characters are soldiers in world war 1. They are near the end of a war. There are certain similarities between the three plays. In BlackAdder and oh what a lovely war the characters in the play are soldiers of various ranks. There is a big differance between our improvised western and the other two plays as they are on the other side of the law!

Oh what a lovely war is a very simple play there are a few comical bits within the play but they are rude and often include swear words so we had to slightly edit them which took away the humor. The style is similar to that of Blackadder which has a serious plot but also has some humor between the lines. Our other play the improvised western was a spoof it was funny because the criminal was so dumb like the bit where the sheriff 'tricks' the dumb criminal

All of the plays were set in different times ...
