Peoples shows

Today we went to see other people productions, it was a very interesting experience indeed. I personally went to see the 'show' titled "The life of Dame Laura Knight", unfortunately I did not have the pleasure to see others as I had a very important matter to attend to. What did I think of this play, well I will try analyze it as the lecturers would. Brutal honest truth which will not win me any friends, but it is important information to know for the future.

The advertising for this event was very well done for the time limit, the card displaying the location, time of the even and price was well constructed and to the point - I was also impressed the way the team sent the information to the VLP email addresses of all the people on our course. The location was well chosen and was relevant to Dame Laura Knight, the seating area was a bit cramped but acceptable. The charge was 50p to watch the 'show' which at first I thought was acceptable but was not handled in a professionals manner, also I did not receive a ticket which was a disappointment as I would have liked something to hold and remind me of the event.
The show itself was not very impressive, I did not feel as though the team had practiced beforehand as everything was read out from a piece of paper and where almost definitely just copied and pasted from a website of encyclopedia, there was no eye contact. I did not feel any passion in the words that where being read out which made the performance uninteresting. The team did however wear appropriate outfits but the times when people where supposed to come on did not seem properly queued and the actions of the characters again showed not much interest. However I understand the people involved are not drama students so I guess the performance was satisfactory. I still don't know who Dame Laura Knight accept that she was an artist, so henceforth I believe the information was not presented correctly and that the 'key' points where not highlighted. My advice for future productions would be to take the information and write a script from bullet points from the information attained from research, maybe spice it up by not reading from a piece of paper and presenting the information with more confidence.

I apologize for such a harsh review, at least the team did there's though which is more than I can say for myself, good job.
