	Andorra (play) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Andorra in Frisch's play is fictional and not intended to be a representation of the real Andorra located between France and Spain.

		When the play starts, Andri is engaged to the Teacher's daughter Barblin, who he has grown up with and who (unbeknownst to him) is his half-sister.

		Stoppard’s play is concerned with character’s being trapped within the confines of the play, without control or knowledge of this fact and the toll this takes upon them.
		We begin Stoppard’s play with the presumption that "these are just two minor, insignificant characters" when in fact their roles in Stoppard’s play are surprisingly analogous to the role of Hamlet in the Shakespeare.

	Drama3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The play, a fictional representation of the witch hunts that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, was written as a political response to Senator McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committees crusade against supposed communists in the early 1950’s.
		At this point in the play, due to the events that transpired in Scene I, the audience was well aware of the general subject matter of the play, witchcraft and those women being accused of it.
		Although some of the characters' ages and appearances in the play are exaggerated, it appears to me that the primary function of each of the characters was to symbolically represent the people who lived the actual experience in 1692.

		The acting is woeful, the director is hapless and the play itself is marred by cliches and shallow characters.
		Such is the dilemma for the participants of Nothing On, the fictional play at the center of Noises Off, which opened Friday at the UH School of Theatre.
		Though the play itself is boring, the players inject their own offstage dramas into the onstage action, creating a vibrant and enjoyable spectacle that leaves the (real) audience reeling from mirthful laughter and a guilty sense of triumph at the play's spectacular failure.

		It is a play which is a fictional tale about real life Parisian artist George Seurat who lived in the later half of the 1800's.
		There are two acts to this play - Act 1 details the two years it took to complete this painting and the toll it took on his personal life and the people he loved.
		It must be noted that this is a very unconventional play - it has little dancing or singing and the whole thrust of the play might seem a bit specious and esoteric at times.

	‘Joan of Arc’ redux
		Their solution: hire someone to play Joan in the trial and stage a confession in front of the masses – which would clearly be a blow to the French cause.
		And for the first part of the play, Joan seems fairly intent on saving her skin – practicing her routine, running in circles until she almost passes out, and constantly lashing herself – that is until God shows up.
		If the play is part comedy, the audience doesn’t know it for the first ten minutes as they are hesitant to laugh at Joan’s incessant self-whippings and jogging.

		The play, which ran Sept. 27 through Oct. 1 at the Clyde H. Wells Fine Arts Center, showcased the comedic skills of the cast.
		The ability of the cast members to play off of one another and cause the multiple one liners and the undertone of sarcasm to stand out really brought everything on stage to life.
		The one area in which many plays in the genre of comedy are lacking is timing, but I can confidently say that “Noises Off” never fell short of my expectations, especially in this area.

	anyway: Periodic Refresher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In typical GURPS play, there are a bunch of things you actually do that can't be found in the rulebook, and a bunch of things in the rulebook that you never actually do.
		How you actually play (and how much fun it is) may be an emergent property of the combination of procedures, social contract, etc. And thus always larger than the procedures.
		Like, if we are playing Riddle of Steel, and we never actually use the combat rules, they can still matter for play, 'cause they are very different than most other games and how you act around an armored man is just going to be a different thing.
