Stop Kiss

A detailed Summary of Stop Kiss

I think the play Stop Kiss was pretty good. I thought that it was pretty well acted and the actors did a good job. The arena theater makes for a totally different style play, not necessarily better but also not necessarily worse. It was bad at some points because you would be looking at the actors back. Other times when it was good for you that meant that it was bad for someone else. The scenery was annoying too because of the fact that the play got stopped every couple minutes. I understand that that is how the arena theater works but it becomes irritating after awhile when they keep coming out and switching it for really short scenes. I think the sets were designed pretty well because they seemed to convey the idea as to what was going on. I really liked that bed/couch that was the basic center piece of the set. The costumes were fine because all it was were really just regular everyday clothes. Except for that one outfit that Callie wore to the awards dinner(that hippy getup)that costume was definitely a costume. I think the lighting was ok at times it was a little dark and probably could have used more light but overall it was fine.

The text and context of this play where a little wild if you did not know what

I think some of the elements of the play helped the actors and some not. For instance I think those breaks where they would change the scene, were probably good for the actors because if they felt they were maybe losing it they had that little time to regroup themselves. I think the time in between scenes was more distracting to us as viewer, because a lot of the time people would start to talk and then the scene would start again. Overall I thought it was good but personally I did not really like it that much.

The character I am going to critically analyze is Sara. I think she was not really that realistic. She was so uneasy all the time I have never seen anybody that crazy. Everyone she talked to she was always cutting them off or something to that effect. I think she was definitely a part of the world of the play because it would be a pretty boring play if she was not in it. I think her goals as far as being a good teacher in the city were reached because she loved and it seemed the kids liked her. I do not really know if she wanted a relationship with Callie or what but if her goal was to get very close with Callie she also achieved that, at the ultimate price almost dying. I think her focus was pretty good. But the thing about theater is even if they mess up you can not be really sure. One
